So much happened in the space industry in 2023... and 2024 is looking like it'll be even bigger!

entrepreneurs also know about failing fast, but it sucks to not share learnings. i'm interested in funding ~10 icebox experiments thru Astera Institute for start-ups that want to publish their science as/after they ramp down. hit me up: forms.gle/jLaUx1QC641yii… #startupicebox

AI is at that moment in Oppenheimer when they weren’t sure that it wouldn’t ignite the atmosphere.

🌱 Today is a special day for Homeworld:

We are publishing over 50 proposals from Homeworld’s first Garden Grants program focused on protein engineering. 1/

How can funding change a whole field?
When it creates a cultural shift.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Homeworld's Garden Grants Program. First call: protein engineering toward sustainability goals.

We co-built this for and with the climate biotech community 1/

1/ Solutions to the climate crisis are already here. But they're stuck in academic labs.

Often, after the basic science is done, there’s just a little more work needed to show the science has commercial potential. But no one funds this!
