Bengaluru-based DNA data storage startup BioCompute is relocating to San Francisco as it moves from the prototype stage to product development. Founder Anagha Rajesh said the company needs access to capital, talent and customers willing to take high-risk bets on frontier technologies.
“We are the first lab in India to go after the audacious problem of DNA data storage, and have leveraged the resources in India over the last 2 years to get to an end to end prototype,” Rajesh wrote in a blogpost on Sunday. “And now it’s time for a step change. As we start assembling the V1 of BioCompute chips, we are relocating to San Francisco to leverage the capital, talent and customer risk appetite of the world’s startup capital.”
