Solving the twin challenges of human and planetary health is the greatest task of our generation, and it also presents the greatest entrepreneurial opportunity in history, which is why we’ve partnered with Mayfield to bring you an engineering biology track to Disrupt 2021 this September 21-23. Haven’t secured your spot yet? Grab your ticket now for $99 (or even less if you’re a student, founder or nonprofit/government employee)!
Mayfield has over 50 years of experience under its VC belt, and it got there by investing in people first, with a focus on enterprise, consumer and engineering biology companies. They have served as early investors to iconic biotech and health IT entrepreneurs throughout their 50+ year history — from Amgen and Genentech to Mammoth Biosciences — whose mission is to create a better world for this and future generations.
This track will feature insights from the founders of multibillion-dollar companies Twist Bioscience, Gingko Bioworks and Adaptive Bio; NotCo (a rising planetary health star and Indie Bio company) and Mammoth Biosciences (a breakout CRISPR platform company co-founded by Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna); plus Mostafa Ronaghi, the premier SPAC manager and former CTO of Illumina and more innovators working to solve the twin challenges of human and planetary health.
