Busy Day! Some great investors preempted the next round at Centivax: the Collison brothers, Structure Fund (Oliver Mulherin & Sam Altman) and Meiji Seika Pharma.
"If our data looks good by the end of this year, effectively, the pandemic era for influenza is over" 💥
"Centivax is a 'universal immunity company,' developing universal snake venom, Alzheimer's, malaria and cancer vaccines. 'You want to treat all the flus, not just one strain,' Glanville says."
— From today's news: https://t.co/PWC05OWoTM
Just finished a watershed board meeting at Centivax.
CEO Jake Glanville is holding the first vial of universal vaccine, now in clinical trials. In the long arc of human history, pathogens have killed >50% of humans that ever lived — over 50 Billion dead. Nothing else comes close.
This huge painting by Andrew Turner adorns the entryway. We have better tools than ever before to eradicate pathogens. We are hopeful that Centivax's universal vaccine programs will end the scourge of malaria, herpesviruses, coronaviruses, influenza and more.
What a moment for @centivax.
The first humans have been dosed in their Phase 1a trial of a universal flu vaccine -- designed to protect against all flu strains, past, present, and future.
We are so proud to back this team.
Centivax is now in the clinic!
Jake and the entire team gave absolutely herculean effort to make this timeline a reality. The first participants have now been dosed with Centi-Flu 01, one of the best shots humanity has at a universal flu vaccine.
One consequence of spending a lot of time with this business is that any cold or virus I get makes me angrier. We shouldn't continue to accept the damage that pathogens inflict on our bodies, brains, and societies.
We at @AmplifyPartners are proud to support Centivax in their mission.
More exciting news for this business in the coming weeks, stay tuned!
Excited to share @centivax have initiated our Phase 1A first-in-human trial of Centi-Flu 01, our pan-influenza universal flu vaccine.
This represents a key milestone toward a new kind of flu vaccine. Thank you to @FutureJurvetson for leading the Series A. Link below.
@Instacart@InstacartHelp Hi - I have been corresponding with them over DM but it has been very inefficient because it seems there is an issue with my account. Can you please call me?
@Instacart your customer service is completely messed up. Please help me right away. I have had an instacart account which I loved and happily used for 5y. I got a @united mileage plus card, and there was a promo for adding it to the instacart account & getting free membership
@united I don’t need a new mileage plus account - please read the thread. I’m talking about an instacart account that is in partnership with United credit cards. Can you please read it and see if there is anything you can do? PS., I am a premier 1k 😉✈️
The customer service people repeatedly said there was nothing else could do, even though it IS MY CREDIT CARD. Please reinstate my account and get back to me right away. @united - you might want to rethink this partnership.
