From the Hunt for Means to the Hunt for Meaning

As a kid my dream was to become a researcher: break boundaries, discover what was previously unseen, and explore the unknown. But the reality was bureaucracy and conformism, too little impact, too many constraints and experiments with run times of decades.

I realized what I actually wanted: boundary-breaking deep tech innovation in a fast-paced, unbureaucratic environment, real ownership and responsibility. A startup.

But for a real ground breaking deep tech startup one needs money - and security. Security to invest in myself and fund the deep tech startup I really wanted to build. So I built a "pre-startup", designed to generate the capital I'd need for my moonshot.

As I wrote in Dreams or Dollars, many founders start with hunger rather than calling. That was me. I wasn't chasing a vision yet, I was building leverage. "Investing in the long run" - as I convinced myself.

The Pre-Startup Learning Curve

The pre-startup became its own education. I learned about many things - how to do them and how not to do them - from building a mvp to product-market fit, the importance of great co-founders, all the way to the brutal reality that most startups fail. When this one did, I could have walked away with the lesson that entrepreneurship wasn't for me.

Instead, I learned something more valuable: I needed to go big or go home.

The pre-startup taught me that I would risk everything, even previously amassed security, for the right mission. Not for incremental improvements or safe bets. For something that could actually change the world.

• I had rediscovered what my dad had always worried my dad: I was not one to be content with playing it safe, I took risks because this is the only way to get to where I wanted to be.

The Real Mission

Now I'm in San Francisco, working and searching for top talent interested in something bigger than just another SaaS company. We're building the future of drug discovery, development, and validation using in silico methods.

But that's just the beginning.

The real goal? Fighting aging itself. Not because it's trendy, but because I want to see what is possible and to be around to see whatelse humanity will achieve. I want to be there when we solve problems that seem impossible today. I want to be the one to contribute to breakthroughs that will redefine the history. Now the question: Do you want to be the one to contribute too? To push boundaries, and hunt for your purpose?

Why This Matters

Drug discovery is broken. It takes decades and billions to bring a single drug to market. Most fail. The process is slow, expensive, and inefficient.

We're building the tools to change that. Computational methods that can predict drug efficacy, safety, and interactions before they ever touch a test tube. Systems that can accelerate discovery from years to months.

And that's just the foundation.

The Team We're Building

I'm looking for people who aren't satisfied with incremental improvements. Who want to work on problems that matter. Who are willing to risk everything for a shot at changing the world.

This isn't about building a company to sell in a big exit. It's about building something so valuable and meaningful that you never want it to end. Something that could actually extend human lifespan, healthspan, our approach in medicine.

I am searching for technical talents only which share my vision. Specifically: ML/AI paired with Computational Biology, Quantum Chemistry, Cell Biology - no BS, only progress and innovation!
