In their words
You can play a phenomenal game of Monopoly and lose, or you can play a lackluster game of Monopoly and still win.
Your job as a founder, I think, is to maximize alpha, to hedge beta in so far as you can, and I say this sincerely, to pray for epsilon.
Your basic job is to be good enough to get lucky. To be good enough to let fortune find you. And to be hard to kill and durable if it doesn't.

What is Biossil?
An AI drug developer that identifies, acquires and re-develops molecules which failed late-stage trials, aiming to give them a second chance while skipping years of earlier-stage work. It exited stealth in 2026 with roughly US$70M.
What did he speak about at TechTO?
