SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.

The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.

But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.

All conferences should include a speed dating opportunity to drive meetings and increase the effectiveness of an event. Connecting one-on-one is the ONLY reason why I attend conferences. https://t.co/x3HKRCuf8D via @Obermattj

In light of the fact that the US leads the world in health care costs as a % of GDP without better outcomes, I would love to hear the argument from someone in pharma why we should be OK that we pay multiples of the same price in other countries for the same drug?

I was a bit late to this discovery, but I can confirm it's a great spot for VC meetings.

You can frequently read articles referencing VC "dry powder" and inferring that these large dollar amounts are "burning a hole" in someone's pocket & will imminently find their way to the market. I totally understand the assumption, but things don't really work this way. [cont]

I highly recommend @obermattj Rollup newsletter. Matt is a long-standing mentor of mine since my Summer 2009 internship at Bloomberg. His content is incredibly relatable (I've had this same dream 1000 times), informative, and concise. https://t.co/rx7OS0CJSr

Six months ago today, my best friend died.

On our last day together, we lay in bed listening to her favorite songs as I retold her stories we had laughed about 1000 times before.

I was there by fate. While our other best friend was trapped in Austin because of an ice storm, I happened to be an hour away from her in California for work.

Her health declined so quickly. I rushed out of work, holding back tears, as I called one of my friends from college, who graciously drove me down to be with her.

My life has looked a lot different since that day. I sleep a lot more, I cry a lot more, and after building for over a decade straight, I’m not building anything. I’ve turned down every work opportunity, and embarrassingly for the first time in my adult life, I’m not prioritizing work.

My brain feels different. The way I communicate feels more raw. I want to tell people I love them more. I’m way more afraid of missing memories with the people I care about.

My content looks a lot different, too. After gaining 80,000 followers in a seemingly short amount of time, I haven’t posted on TikTok since she died. I’ve had trouble posting anything too motivational or work-related. I feel like a fraud. Pretending to care about making money, or "hustling", when right now... I really don’t.

Grief and loss are horrible experiences. I’ve spent so much time reflecting on what I would change about my time with her if given the chance…
I wouldn’t have missed our last vacation together for a last-minute “important” meeting that I don’t even remember.
I wouldn’t have spent so much time working on my phone while we were together.
I wouldn’t have let the rude comment someone left me on social media ruin my mood, even if just for a second we were together.

Life is painfully fragile and, for some, unexpectedly short.

In our bubble, where we hear people talk nonstop about what is worth sacrificing for success, I can honestly say this: don’t sacrifice making memories with the people that would be there even if you lost it all.

Third: But even worse, the face pace of deployment has meant: little due diligence, higher prices, low ownerships relative to fund sizes, and - often overlooked - very bad time diversification. There are many funds out there that deployed THE ENTIRE FUND at peak valuations.

The answer seems to be that short breaks in between meetings are necessary:

• Eliminate stress buildup
• Improve performance
• Reduce impact of attention residue

I started implementing 25-minute meetings into my schedule and immediately noticed a positive impact.

Try it!
