Re: [DIYbio] YCombinator for Biotech Open now in SF (Indie Bio prev SynBioAxlr8r)

There certainly will! And, while the last one was not actually run by me
(you can credit Jacob for the success of the first SynbioAxlr8r), the
next one in Cork will be managed by yours truly! :)

Really looking forward to it already, and eager to hear from anyone, on
or off list, who's thinking of applying!

(As far as plants, by the way, we had one team this year who tried and
it was very challenging, even ignoring a regulatory hiccup; you have as
little as *one chance* to get it right because of generation times. But,
we'd still welcome projects at this level of ambition, and have lots of
experience in what can go right and wrong, and what preparation needs to
be done. Don't be disheartened! Accelerators needn't end with a finished
project, merely a proof of concept or a proof of progress)
