Congrats to SOSV's HAX alum Mitico on its $4.3M seed round to capture carbon from energy emissions. Simple, smart tech that's truly "drop in" starting with small industrial energy plants. https://lnkd.in/dQNT9KUi

SOSV and the IndieBioNY team are truly delighted by Afynia Laboratories's success addressing one of the great challenges in women's health, the non-invasive diagnosis of endometriosis. This $5M seed round led by Bio-Rad Laboratories and joined by SOSV will be instrumental in getting the test to market. TechCrunch's Natasha Lomas did a great job telling the back story of how researchers Warren (Lauren) Foster, Ph.D., FCAHS and Jocelyn Wessels, Ph.D. at McMaster University turned co-founders developed the mRNA diagnostic panel and with help and investment from our IndieBioNY program turned the research into a product and business that will help millions suffering from the pain and uncertainty surrounding endometriosis diagnosis. https://lnkd.in/gK55tP3M
