Thanks for posting this. Happy to answer questions!

Sid, Thank you for funding Arden Bio. Rheumatology patients and their clinicians are often left to throwing darts from afar, in series and often with significant & permanent function loss with each dart. Moreover, proper care of refractory rare diseases is not something that insurance funds: my otherwise excellent coverage expressly denies "investigatory" treatments, for example. As a small fiber neuropathic vasculitus patient with secondary Sjögren's I really look forward to progress in this field, it cannot happen soon enough. Best of luck in your own care and profile. - Clark

Such an inspiring read. As a bioinformatics researcher I'm awed by the depth of the deck. How do feel about the process of learning cancer biology and bioinformatics? Ps. I work for BillionToOne oncology and we build some of the most sensitive liquid biopsy tests ( https://www.northstaronc.com/ ). Feel free to reach out if it pique your interest!

Thanks for your interest, we use Northstar monthly to track for Sid.

Sid, it’s truly a privilege to work alongside you on this cancer journey. Your innovation and transparency around all things helps pave the way for others in a way like I’ve never seen in 25+ years of healthcare.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nope. He applied to YC and took that risk and already knew how to make money. You miss 100% of the shots if you do. not. try.

But you don’t hit 100% if you try. That’s where the luck part comes into play. Right time, right place

Nope. Sid just knows how to make money and that's him being more than 'lucky' with his experience and marketing GitLab right here which you could have done that as well.

> Right time, right place

Just use Sid's story as motivation for yourself.
