@ayushnoori @markwbudde @jykishi @jlbanal @MichaelGChavez Apply!! It’s an amazing program! Surround yourself with invigorating people putting you on the right path

[Ayush Noori @ayushnoori]

The alumni of the 5050 program speak for themselves – folks like @markwbudde, @jykishi, @jlbanal, @MichaelGChavez, and @ukuzma2.

These founders are building the future of rapid sequencing, biotherapeutic screening, cell therapy, biomolecular storage, and more. Apply below! 👇🏽

There’s no better program that helps academic founders start generational companies! 5050 helped me accelerate building @BioSens8 by allowing me to break down mental barriers and equip me with how to hire and operate with speed. If you're looking to make massive impact apply now!

The SaaS startup playbook doesn’t work in deep tech. “Move fast and break things” doesn’t apply when building nuclear reactors or bioengineering cell therapies.

That’s why we built 5050, “a cheat code for starting a deep tech startup.” (quote from an alumni)

Applications open!

5050 is a program to help scientists and engineers start indispensable companies. We’ve distilled everything we know about deep tech startups into a two phase program.

Phase I: Explore
We’ll help you answer: How do I turn my breakthrough science into a business? What do I need to make a startup idea work? How do I recruit a world-class team Am I ready to be a founder?

We'll help you diagnose and mitigate risks and pivot quickly if necessary.

At the end of Explore, those ready to build a startup will be invited to the next phase, Build

Phase II: Build
You’ll join a select cohort of the most high-speed founders solving massive world problems. Build will help you de-risk their technology, hit milestones, raise a first round, and reach takeoff speed faster than you think is possible. You’ll learn everything you need to know about starting a deep tech company and what it takes to become a world class entrepreneur.

At @fiftyyears, we’ve backed over 100 deep tech startups, helped them raise over 5.5 billion dollars, and supported our founders in achieving many firsts:

➜ the first carbon-negative molecule factory
➜ the first cultivated meat approved in the U.S.
➜ the first microgeo satellite for internet connectivity
➜ the first in-orbit space pharma drug factory
➜ the first de novo synthesis of a 1000+ base DNA molecule
➜ and many more

Whether you’re validating an idea or ready to build — 5050 is for you.
