in biology, a plasmid is a loop of dna that gives a cell new powers (insulin is made by feeding e. coli the synthetic human insulin gene on a plasmid, then letting it brew. nearly all the world's supply comes from this. paper). picked up from a neighbor, a rival, even the environment. the most resilient cells pick up, reuse, and combine plasmids, to become something greater than their parts.
like an agentic coding company that builds tools to build itself. or ozempic, a drug made for diabetes but repurposed for weight loss.
as a small, experimental fund, we look for teams that pick up, reuse, and combine "plasmids", to build something greater than their parts.
