Everything you need to know about Austin's surging Bio & Health ecosystem. The era of Austin as an "emerging" hub is officially over. 🤠🚀🦾🧬
@jani_tuomi and I just dropped the 3rd annual Austin Bio & Health report, and we bring the receipts.
1) Bio & Health VC funding hit a massive $1.6 billion in 2025
2) Total ecosystem value surged 45% in just one year to $77 billion.
3) Skyrocketed from 18th to 6th nationally in less than a decade
4) Only ~$100M away from overtaking legacy hubs like LA and San Diego
5) Austin is building a full stack ecosystem and creating a new model for what a healthy city can be.
Full report in reply.
The cat is (almost) out of the bag!
Being part of this project has been a wild ride. If you think you know what’s coming, trust me you aren’t ready for how cool this is.
Stay strange, friends.

Andrew thought he found a back door. Little did he know, we just upgraded the gatekeeper. 🐙🚫
The "Andrew Incident" was a wake-up call, but the new protocol is simple: If your name’s not on the list, you’re not getting past the tentacles.
