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

The easy answer is, don't sweat the pitch. We're not that interested in
"polished", far more interested in "submitted early". And you're dealing
with synbio nerds, so the lighting or camera quality in a pitch video,
or even the grammar in the application documentation, matter very little
compared to the details of the team, the project, and the perceived
market opportunity.

If you have already made an application *to Ireland* let me know,
because I haven't seen it! This may be down to fuzzy back-end stuff, or
perhaps you were talking about SF?

(BTW, contrary to what may have been said earlier or elsewhere, the
offering for Indie.Bio (note new domain name! :)) is now 50,000 for 8%
with an optional loan note of $25k with 20% discount, 5% Interest & $2m
cap. And that's all on top of access to a full lab and
mentorship/collaboration with some truly excellent people!)
