These aren't colored eggs. They are a reminder of how this valley was built through relationships, and the unrushed and thoughtful conversations that led to them. This weekend Parnian and I visited Daniel Theobald at his beautiful ranch in San Gregorio. He's an MIT/robotics guy with an accomplished career, who took his robots into the fields to help farmers across the world increase their productivity. This ranch is their testbed and it feels right out of a movie seeing robots in the fields. Daniel was curious about Olfera (Parnian's biotech startup), but instead of opening up a laptop, we took a 3.5km walk around the ranch, going through redwood groves, an avocado orchard, an observation deck for incredible sunsets over the ocean, herds of goats, corn fields, pumpkin patches, and the list goes on... Instead of a rushed push through a deck we talked about life, about building things that make the world better, and about relationships. And yes, we also talked bio and the strategies that help startups succeed. In particular, I liked Daniel's advice about "staying behind the money - don't get in front of it". The observation that too many startups raise too early and are given priorities that conspire to cause them to fail really resonates. And back to the eggs: As we left Daniel gave us these eggs from his chickens on the ranch. They are almost too pretty to eat, but we will make the most delicious omelets and be reminded of an incredible visit to San Gregorio.

Please join us for our upcoming Founders at Work Seminar featuring Dr. Parnian Lak, CEO of Olfera Therapeutics on March 29th at 135 Mississippi Street, San Francisco. Open to the public. For many promising neurological drugs, the blood-brain barrier presents a significant hurdle to reaching their target. Olfera employs a distinctive alternative: the nose-to-brain delivery pathway. Tapping into the olfactory epithelium’s natural abilities, Olfera’s platform leverages a novel chemistry prodrug strategy and innovative technology to enable efficient and targeted intranasal delivery of neurological drugs to the brain. This approach holds the potential to revolutionize brain disease treatments by improving drug efficacy and patient outcomes. Please register here ➡ https://lnkd.in/g29tY2Aa We hope to see you there!
