For too long, research has been fragmented.
Patients and donors give samples. Researchers investigate hypotheses. Families hope for progress.
But too often… that hope disappears into silence, silos, & stalled funding.
We believe this story can change and we are partnering with @syndicateio to do so. ↘️
Huge congratulations to @casparbarnes123 and the @Amino_Chain team on their successful $5M seed round led by @a16zcrypto, building a decentralized healthcare system.
Amino Chain is hiring—check out their open positions: https://t.co/q1oYQoAZvi
Exciting times ahead for @Amino_Chain as they build the future of decentralized science.
We're proud to be early supporters in their mission to connect hospitals, biobanks, and bio-pharma, improving transparency and keeping patients at the center of scientific progress 🙌
Introducing @Amino_Chain: A bio-sample marketplace connecting biobanks and clinical sites with bio-pharma companies. Fresh off a successful funding round led by a16z crypto, with participation from AV and others, bringing total funding to an impressive $7.8M! 👏

After quietly building and integrating with key players in biomedicine, we’re excited to reveal our work toward a more optimized, holistic healthcare experience for all stakeholders.
This is just the start—looking forward to collaborating with those who share our vision! 🚀
Excited to back @Amino_Chain as they bring transparency, ownership, and trust to the healthcare system. Caspar and team are devoted to this mission and we can't wait to see the impact they’ll make 🧬
Pumped to work with @casparbarnes123 and the @Amino_Chain team.
I was blown away by the team's mission and vision to bring transparency, ownership, and trust to the healthcare system 🧬
It's early days for DeSci, but I'm grateful for entrepreneurs like @casparbarnes123 who are using blockchains to solve some of the hardest - and most important - problems in the world!
After 2 years of building in silence we’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been working on at AminoChain and announce our $5M seed round led by @a16zcrypto!
In 1951, Henrietta Lacks' cells were taken without her knowledge or consent. Her cells, known now as “HeLa” cells, went on to become one of the most important tools in modern medicine, leading to breakthroughs in healthcare from the polio vaccine to cancer treatments. For 72 years, Henrietta’s family never saw a dime of the immeasurable value her cells generated and her story has since become a symbol of the need for ownership, transparency, and consent in healthcare.
We believe that blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize almost any industry where transparency, security, and ownership are core and presents a tremendous opportunity to accelerate progress in healthcare and science
Today, we're excited to welcome @Amino_Chain to the portfolio as our first decentralized science (DeSci) investment!
We met @casparbarnes123 last year and were quickly blown away by his passion for healthcare and his depth in crypto. We were lucky enough to work closely with him this Spring throughout CSX London and by the end of the program we felt strongly that Caspar was the perfect founder to restore trust in healthcare and science with AminoChain.
AminoChain is building a decentralized biobank and L2 for an ecosystem of on-chain healthcare applications. AminoChain's technology connects enterprise medical institutions, enabling them to seamlessly transact medical data, while providing patients with transparency into how their biosamples are being used.
We are thrilled to lead AminoChain's $5M Seed Round and support Caspar and team on their journey. Welcome to the team @aminochain!
Incredibly excited to be working with @casparbarnes123 and the whole team @Amino_Chain - they have an incredible vision and mission - please check them out!!
