Lexi Ventures’ Post

Lexi Ventures is a VC firm focused on the gene tech revolution. This focus is rooted in these beliefs. 1. Genetic engineering will change the lives of all people to a degree comparable with the industrial revolution and info-tech revolutions. 2. This will enable startups to create unmatched opportunities for wealth creation for their customers, employees, and investors. 3. The convergence of harnessing CRISPR, creation of AI-based protein modeling tools like AlphaFold, long read and next-generation sequencing, and growing talent has made this the right time for the thesis. 4. There is more alpha in gene tech than other bio, health, and deep tech businesses. Gene tech startups aim to cure many of the most agonizing and most expensive diseases, improving happiness and reducing healthcare needs. Other gene tech startups will enable plants and microbes to produce newer and better things while sustaining the natural environment. Lexi Ventures has diversification across health, consumer products, food, materials, and other sectors. We invest around seed stage in US companies working with DNA, RNA, proteins, and cells as well as related tools and software.
