Wow, that was fast...

We've finished our second week here and the time has just flown!

EIGHTEEN meetings just this week... and that's just the beginning! I don't think my calendar has ever been so full.

The mentors are awesome, and so helpful.  The range of experience they have, and the insights they can provide really inform our decision in the best way.  Sure, sometimes a few will have opposite opinions, but for the most part they all are leading us to consensus.

And that consensus is: the uBox has the potential to be awesome! (but we knew that)

Really tho, it's been great to hear validation of our thoughts so far, that we were already on the right track.  We've also learned new things, and nuances to old things, and we are just so ready to absorb as much knowledge as we can and make this thing a reality.

Get to it.

Kicked off, in the best possible way

We pitched, we schmoozed, we discussed. We talked with over 30 potential mentors today and my pocket is full of business cards. All of the feedback was useful, and predominantly positive. Even the concerns that were raised were issues that we have or are able to address.


We are motivated and ready to hit the ground running. The to-do list is huge, but will be tackled!

Mentor Kick-off

It's that time already...

The Mentor Kick-off event is here and we are getting ready to present. We are perched above Boston in the State Room, overlooking the Harbor and downtown from the 33rd floor.


The room is filling up with potential mentors, people who are leaders in their industries, entrepreneurs and big corporations alike. The wealth of knowledge in this room is palpable, and we can't wait to make a good impression with our pitch. We are second on deck, and ready to go.

Coming to Boston!

Abiogenix is proud to announce that we have been selected to join the Healthbox program in Boston!

This accelerator, started by Sandbox Industries of Chicago, is running its first Boston class, surrounded by many of the preeminent institutions of U.S. healthcare. There are 10 companies total, and we are looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow.

We are excited for this opportunity, and plan to make the most of all the resources offered to us. We know it's also going to be a lot of work, but we relish the challenge. The long hours start right away, as we get our pitch together for the Mentor Kick-Off event this Thursday the 16th. We can't wait to get to know these mentors and pick their brains for how we can maximize our success.

It will be great to be back in our old stomping grounds around MIT, visiting old friends and making new ones.

An adventure awaits!
