The next decade is going to see a biotech revolution fueled by three technologies: ability to read DNA (sequencing), ability to write DNA (synthesis), and computational systems that predict what DNA to read and write. With sequencing and synthesis being mainstream now [1], 20n provides the computational systems that predict DNA design for novel industrial biotech and health applications. At 20n, we are taking a fresh look at turning biological data into information. We approach it as a big data learning problem, and bring to bear techniques from machine learning, distributed systems, AI planning, program synthesis, data mining, and natural language processing. With the support of DARPA [2], we are building a team of computer scientists, and bioengineers to look at biology in fundamentally new ways. Our current customers include industrial biotech firms that are leading the charge in transitioning us from traditional unsustainable means of manufacturing to sustainable biological processes leading to advanced fuels, materials, therapeutics, and flavors and fragrances. 20n’s technology helps them enter markets previously thought inaccessible for biology. [1] Sequencing DNA costs $4k/genome (http://www.genome.gov/sequencingcosts/) and is expected to go down to $1k/genome. Synthesizing DNA is at 20cents/bp, and is expected to go down to 0.1cents/bp. [2] DARPA in the past supported work that led to the internet, stealth planes, GPS, and even Douglas Engelbart’s mother-of-all-demos.

Our Mission : MODE provides guidance and tools for more businesses to improve their operations by connecting them to their data and insights, allowing them to be more proactive and efficient in what they want to accomplish. Our vision : MODE makes it a norm for people to make informed decisions by giving visibility to the physical world through data. MODE’s founders have amassed a wealth of experience in managing data at companies like Google, Twitter and Yahoo as engineers and managers.

Fitzroy is a new way of thinking about wholesale. Because “wholesale” should be modern, easy, and fun, especially when you are talking about products for children. We’re laying a foundation for a retail movement that celebrates small business owners - the designers, mompreneurs, founders, and inventors who share a different point of view through their independent brands and specialty retailers. We believe different isn’t just good but it’s necessary.

Gowalla, a social travel guide for people on the go, is a fabulous way to share photos, places and highlights from your life with your friends. It’s also a delightful way to discover new places around you. As a company, were a team of designers, engineers and enthusiasts who have inspired people to visit, photograph and shar over 2.5 million places around the world. Based in Austin, Texas, Gowalla was launched in 2009 by Josh Williams and Scott Raymond. The company is backed by investors like Greylock Partners, Alsop-Louie Partners and Founders Fund. They’re all decent folk you wouldn’t mind hanging out with.

Twitch is where thousands of communities come together for whatever, every day. Together for streamers. Together for games we love. Together for each other.

Wholesail is a technology startup that builds software to connect wholesalers and their buyers. The company’s first product is an automated invoicing, payment and communication platform that integrates with the accounting systems of wholesale sellers to allow them to get paid faster and decrease losses. For buyers, Wholesail automates the accounts payable process to save them time and money. Wholesail’s initial industry focus is on building a network effect driven payment business in the highly fragmented $1+ trillion US food and beverage distribution market, in which invoicing and payment is nearly entirely manual and paper-driven today. Wholesail was founded by a team of serial entrepreneurs, product managers, engineers and designers who have worked together for nearly a decade. The company is well funded with backing from several venture capital firms and angel investors including early executives and team members from Stripe, Square, Dropbox, Yelp, OpenTable and Everlane. We are looking for highly motivated people to join us on our mission to modernize wholesale trade. If you are passionate about the craft of software engineering or building customer relationships, drop us a line.
