Year in Review and to 2025!
2024: The Year DeSci Landed
What we got done in 2024
Everyone is doing posts about what they personally accomplished in 2024 so we are doing one on what AthenaDAO got done this year:
🏆 Entrepreneur-in-Residence Pitch Competition
💉 Gynecologic Cancers Reproductive Health Report & Cohort
🧬 AD x ResearchHub Collaboration to Fund Preprints in Women’s Hormonal Health
🪩 ReproTech Cohort & Collectible
👩🏫 AD Fellowships
🛍️ ADLabs Pop Up in San Francisco
2024 is the year we took on more than ever Fertility Acceleration
Our AUM
If you were paying attention you would have heard us many times declaring that women’s health R&D is an underpriced asset with lots of low hanging fruits and moonshots abound.
📣 We launched 2 IPTs (aka funded more research)
We launched two IPTs this year! Our first-ever DeSci IPT, $FACC, is the first DeSci IPT with positive animal data and is the most advanced DeSci project in the drug development pipeline.
Dr. Mario D. Cordero is ahead of schedule by over 6 months in developing an anti-inflammatory drug targeting the cGAS-STING pathway to combat ovarian aging.
We could have the first molecule in the next 24 to 36 months.
Our first Catalyst project and second DeSci IPT, a drug discovery collaboration with Gero, raised 300K in 3 hours. Gero will use their platform anticipating the identification of up to 10 novel targets for Ovarian Aging.
Gero is a Series A platform biotech company creating therapeutics against chronic diseases. They have collaborated with leading institutions like Harvard Medical School, NYU, and the Roswell Park Cancer Center, as well as a strategic partnership with Pfizer to develop treatments for fibrotic diseases.
We are waiting for 6 more projects to be funded. Buckle-up! 2025 is going to be a good year.
🤖 We are building autonomous AI agents
Lovelace is AthenaDAO’s first AI agent, analyzing decades of fertility science with the end goal of picking the best experiments to run for Fertility Acceleration.
She is built on the ELIZA framework, is running on Google Deepmind’s Gemini, and spun out from the $GIRLE project made by some AthenaDAO contributors.
She is even teaching herself how to adapt to different text styles!
It’s not too late - Join our next launch!
