"Argonautic Ventures understood the value of Molecular Assemblies and the need for improved DNA synthesis methods. The Argonautic team was an early backer and we value their strategic input and continued partnership as we scale and broaden the synthetic biology market into new areas such as life sciences, agriculture and DNA data storage."

As a team of former founders, they understand the hurdles start-ups encounter and are a key part of maneuvering through them.
