A blog webpage written by entrepreneur Matt Krisiloff which offers helpful advice to scientific founders of biotechnology companies on how to fundraise and manage relations with investors.

“Because of examples of great success in the broader technology world, we’re seeing the emergence of what I’d call a more ‘Silicon Valley’ mindset in biotech investing. This approach prizes technology development at the core of the company’s DNA and – drawing from examples in tech such as Microsoft and Meta and in biotech such as Regeneron and Genentech – recognizes that technical founders who can grow into business leaders often build more innovative and ultimately more successful companies. This shift has opened up new avenues for fundraising that founders should understand and look towards”

At this point in my career across the biotech-related projects I’ve run, I’ve personally raised about $100 million. In some ways this feels like a lot, but given the scope of biotech and hard tech projects I care most about, it’s really just a drop in the bucket. From these experiences though, I’ve learned some things that I believe can help other founders navigate fundraising, and want to share them – especially for newer founders working on interesting technologies that may be approaching fundraising for the first time.

Recent advances in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the development of a wide range of systems with unique characteristics designed for varying real-world applications. These include robots that can engage in activities traditionally only completed by humans, such as sketching, painting and even hand-writing documents.

These robots could have interesting applications in both professional and creative contexts, as they could help to automate the creation of artistic renderings, legal papers, letters and other documents in real time. Most to date have considerable limitations, such as high production costs (around $150) and a large size.

Two researchers affiliated with the global student non-profit organization App-In Club recently developed a new cost-effective robotic handwriting system that could be more affordable for individual consumers, schools, universities and small businesses. This system, introduced in a paper on the arXiv preprint server, integrates a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller and other components that can be produced via 3D printing.

In today’s AI news, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is trying to calm the online hype surrounding his company. On Monday, the tech boss took to X to quell viral rumors that the company had achieved artificial general intelligence. “Twitter hype is out of control again,” he wrote. “We are not gonna deploy AGI next month, nor have we built it.”

In other advancements, Stuttgart, Germany-based Sereact has secured €25mn to advance its embodied AI software that enables robots to carry out tasks they were never trained to do. “With our technology, robots act situationally rather than following rigidly programmed sequences. They adapt to dynamic tasks in real-time, enabling an unprecedented level of autonomy,” said Ralf Gulde, CEO of Sereact (short for “sense, reason, act”).

Then, seven years and seven months ago, Google changed the world with the Transformer architecture, which lies at the heart of generative AI applications like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Now Google has unveiled a new architecture called Titans, a direct evolution of the Transformer that takes us a step closer to AI that can think like humans.

And, the World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2025 reveals a world teetering between technological triumph and profound risk. As a structural force, it “has the potential to blur boundaries between technology and humanity” and rapidly introduce novel, unpredictable challenges.

In videos, The next frontier of AI is physical AI. NVIDIA Cosmos—a platform of state-of-the-art generative world foundation models, advanced tokenizers, guardrails, and an accelerated data processing and curation pipeline—accelerates the development of physical-AI-embodied systems such as robots and autonomous vehicles.

In today’s AI news, AI or Not is on a mission to protect individuals and organizations from the risks of generative AI misuse. AI or Not, a widely covered AI fraud detection platform, has raised $5 million in a seed funding round to accelerate its use of “AI to detect AI” in images, audio video and deepfakes to prevent fraud and misinformation.

Layoffs And, AI media tech provider Runway has announced the release of Frames, its newest text-to-image generation model, and it’s winning early praise from users for producing highly cinematic visuals — a fitting compliment given Runway is known primarily as an AI video model provider. Could Frames dethrone Midjourney as the go-to choice?

In other advancements, ChatGPT maker OpenAI has finalized a version of its new reasoning AI model o3 mini and would be launching it in a couple of weeks, CEO Sam Altman said on Friday. The Microsoft-backed company has considered user feedback and, consequently, plans to release the API and ChatGPT simultaneously, Altman wrote.

In videos, character consistency has never been easier! Now you can use just a single image to generate consistent AI videos. Hailuo (Minimax) Subject Reference is AMAZING. In this tutorial they show you how to use it, creative use cases and a honest review. Enjoy!

OpenAI says no money changed hands in the collaboration. But because the work could benefit Retro—whose biggest investor is Altman—the announcement may add to questions swirling around the OpenAI CEO’s side projects.

Last year, the Wall Street Journal said Altman’s wide-ranging investments in private tech startups amount to an “opaque investment empire” that is “creating a mounting list of potential conflicts,” since some of these companies also do business with OpenAI.

In Retro’s case, simply being associated with Altman, OpenAI, and the race toward AGI could boost its profile and increase its ability to hire staff and raise funds. Betts-Lacroix did not answer questions about whether the early-stage company is currently in fundraising mode.
