Spent three years looking for a team in Biodefense to invest in. But never found one. So we built it ourselves. Valthos builds next-generation biodefense. As AI and biotech rapidly advance, we're approaching near-universal access to tools with the potential to cure humanity or make biological weapons. We have a short period of time to ensure that our capabilities to protect advance faster than the threats we face. At Valthos, we apply frontier methods to identify threats and compress the time from a biological sequence to validated medical countermeasures. Excited to share more with you all soon. Grateful to start Valthos with $30M in backing from @OpenAI @Lux_Capital @foundersfund, and many others incl. @Definition_Cap @topology_vc We are actively hiring - if you know engineers interested in solving this mission, reach out contact@valthos.com.
