I'm working on developing open source pharmaceuticals. I'm located in Oakland, CA. The stage is "on-paper only". Looking mostly for someone who is on the business end of things (referrals welcome). I've got the tech down. I am probably okay at but could use help getting media attention, and I am probably not good at: wrangling legal issues, and (most importantly) developing business relationships with commercial partners.

The plan is to enter an incubator to pilot a proof of concept and then seek seed investment. I also have a strategic plan (hires, etc) on taking the seed to a series A with MVP potential.

Requirements: Passion for the idea of expanding open source. You're also willing for the company to make 1 billion, instead of 10, but leave the world a better place. An ability to understand and communicate either biology, code, or both.

Bonus points for experience in law/IP materials.

Do you want to talk bioprinters? I got one built.


No, the short-term end goal is large-scale manufacturing of FDA-approved drugs. The long-term goal is to corner the manufacturing market.


What about all the generics manufacturers that already exist?
