How Cambrian BioPharma is reinventing drug - and drug company - development


Listen Later

Matt Burns spoke to James Peyer, the co-founder of Cambrian BioPharma, and Maryanna Saenko, co-founder and partner at Future Ventures. Cambrian BioPharma is a new pharmaceutical startup with a revolutionary approach to developing and managing drug development age-related diseases. 

What we're most interested in, though, is how Cambrian’s executive team attracts and retains top talent. (Spoiler: They give them an oversized amount of equity compared to traditional pharmaceutical companies.)

James and Maryanna spoke to us about:

  • Developing therapeutics for anti-aging in a way that works with the existing regulatory structure
  • How James and Maryanna solve the 'venture capital math problem' 
  • But first we spoke on moving research from academia to the real world and fighting misconception and buzzwords around longevity biotech

We closed out the show with a new batch of founders for Pitch Practice. And as always, if you want to check out the full video of today's conversation, head to our YouTube channel and stay tuned for more TechCrunch Live!
