As we close out this year, we're happy to report it's been an unusually productive one, and historic in many ways. We strongly believe that we're entering a century of TechBio, where biology shifts from a stochastic act of discovery to one that looks much more like Tech and its engineering perspective, driven by an iterative and linear process. In fact, TechBio today feels a lot like where digital and the information age was 40-50 years ago, poised to touch all of our lives.
We are incredibly fortunate to have assembled a strong network and set of portfolio companies within TechBio, and believe this convergence within which we operate will continue to play out over the next century.
