Still feeling so grateful and fired up after an incredible weekend at the Rice Business Plan Competition — the Super Bowl of entrepreneurship!

We had the chance to pitch, learn, get feedback from some of the best in the industry, and connect with so many inspiring founders and investors. It’s wild to think about how far we’ve come — and exciting to think about what’s next as we keep working to change the game in preclinical drug development.

Biggest thanks to our advisors David Hinton and Phil Shellhamer for always believing in us and pushing us to be our best. And to the University of Arkansas Office of Entrepreneurship & Innovation for supporting us every step of the way.

Thank you to the entire RBPC team and all the judges for creating such an unforgettable experience. Definitely a weekend we won’t forget!
