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

? You can already apply to Ireland? The homepage just has that "apply to San Fran" feature?

Hi All, we (Berkeley Biolabs) are helping the team at SOS ventures and they've just launched their new DIY Bio accelerator in Downtown SF and they're accepting global applications. 

It's super exciting to finally see a real accelerator for DIY Bio in SF, the first class starts this Jan and applications are due soon, so if you have an idea that you're working on and want to get funding SOS ventures is definitely worth applying to. The first batch of companies out of Indie Bio (previously synbioaxlr8r) have been really successful, 4 out of 6 raised their first rounds (between $500k - $2M in the case of Muufri). Congrats to all the teams and apply :)

I talked to Arvind and he said the he'll be looking at applications as they come in so earlier applications have a better chance of getting funded
