2025–Many high-flying AI companies struggled while a few techbios turbocharged with millions. lnkd.in/dVaGzWw3 outlines partnerships between AI biotech startups & pharma. Isn’t it interesting that @insitro.bsky.social’s CEO is the only female among 8 male techbio leaders making headlines this year?
