Brief

Sudarshan (@ItzSuds) spent six months learning biotech and says he "committed to 2 companies this week" (2026-07-16). He’s seeking founders solving three concrete problems: target selection, predictable drug safety, and engineering dynamic synthetic-biology systems. He cites that ~25% of annual VC goes to life sciences, wants to learn, and asks for people to talk to.

Why it matters

Sudarshan (@ItzSuds) says he spent the last 6 months learning about biotech and "committed to 2 companies this week" (post timestamp 2026-07-16T02:15:53Z).

Key details

  • He is soliciting founders focused on three technical problems: (1) how to pick good drug targets, (2) how to make predictably safe drugs, and (3) how to engineer and design dynamic synthetic-biology systems.
  • He reports that 25% of VC funding in any given year goes to life sciences & biotech, does not expect to write a check but wants to get smart about the space, and asks who he should speak to (cc @gokoolerthanyou).
Source evidence

I spent the last 6 months learning about Bio & committed to 2 companies this week.

I am looking for founders building companies that answer how we:

[1] Pick good drug targets?
[2] Make predictably safe drugs?
[3] Engineer & design dynamic syn bio systems?

Just learned that 25% of VC funding in any given yr goes to life sciences & biotech, but I don't know anything about the space or anyone building in it

I don't expect to write a check in the space, but I'd like to get smart about here since it's so large!

Who should I speak to?
