Molecule Ecosystem, March 2023 - bio.xyz Demo Day
Birthing the next generation of BioDAOs - Demo Day, 27 April 2023.
This month, we’re dedicating our newsletter to bio.xyz. We’ll take a quick look at the first cohort BioDAOs, and most importantly, we cover everything you need to know about bio.xyz’s upcoming Demo Day - Welcome back!
bio.xyz Demo Day - 27 April 2023
We're inviting all our community members to bio.xyz’s Demo Day on the 27th of April! During this online event, you'll see the culmination of progress and hear more about the vision, research projects and future from the first cohort DAOs - ValleyDAO, AthenaDAO, HairDAO, PsyDAO, and CryoDAO. Discover why community-governed and decentralized biotech makes sense in each of these respective fields!
Who Should Attend:
Biotech & synthetic biology enthusiasts.
Researchers and academics in related fields.
Industry professionals looking for collaboration opportunities.
Students interested in pursuing careers in biotech and synbio.
What to expect:
Pitches from all 5 DAOs and their traction so far.
Each DAO will demonstrate how decentralization and advanced biotechnologies can work together to drive innovation, collaboration and solve some of the world's most pressing challenges.
Find out how to get involved and join the communities of these DAOs.
Explore collaboration opportunities with these projects in a Q&A session hosted by each DAO in their own respective Discords afterwards.
Be a part of history in the making and witness the future of biotechnology with bio.xyz, the pioneering biotech DAO accelerator that empowers biotech builders, researchers, and patient communities. Spread the word and invite your friends and colleagues to join us on this exciting day. We look forward to seeing you there!

Required Reading
Heading into Demo Day, make sure you check out bio.xyz’s latest blogpost, titled: BioDAOs are Community-Owned Research Translation Engines, Not Investment DAOs. The article explores the nature of BioDAOs as community-owned and governed translation engines rather than investment DAOs. The article goes on to state how these entirely new organizational phenotypes are focused on maximizing the translation of research, as opposed to profits. Read the full article here.
Recapping the BioDAOs
HairDAO
HairDAO is advancing research & development for hair loss treatments in an open-source and democratic way. HairDAO is a patient-owned, and mission-driven organization who believes that patients deserve both better solutions and governance of the solutions they fund. Join their community.
AthenaDAO
AthenaDAO is a decentralized community of researchers, funders, and advocates working to advance women’s health research, education, and funding. AthenaDAO primarily funds translational R&D and they are particularly interested in transformational contributions to women’s health. Join their community.
PsyDAO
PsyDAO is forming a decentralised organisation with the goal of funding research at the intersection of psychedelics and mental health. PsyDAO aims to frontrun industry, fund and build the public domain, and use the magic of tokenization to ensure that psychedelic intellectual property is freely traded, collectively owned, and responsibly managed for all humankind. Join their community.
ValleyDAO
ValleyDAO is an open, global community collectively financing and democratizing the governance of synthetic biology technologies. ValleyDAO helps researchers maximize the impact of their work by taking their research results beyond the bench and into the real world. They have streamlined the application process to make it easier for researchers to receive the support they need to make a difference. Join their community.
CryoDAO
CryoDAO is funding research projects in the field of cryopreservation to push forward this promising cutting-edge medical technology. CryoDAO's objective is to invest in cryopreservation research projects that have a high potential to increase the quality and capabilities of cryopreservation. Join their community.

Please reach out to us with any questions or ideas, visit our website, or join our Discord to interact directly with our team. We’re really looking forward to joining forces with our community to create a world where patients directly fund researchers developing the next therapeutic breakthrough they need and building an open, inclusive, and collaborative ecosystem.
As we continue to work towards a different era of drug discovery, our focus for this year is to grow our team, incubate and launch more BioDAOs, fund more IP-NFTs, expand our footprint, and continue to connect DeSci to the real world - Let’s build!
