Why do we work with horses? Horses are a great market that allows us to make embryos and animals that sell for lots money while building out the infrastructure to go from genomics to higher performing animal. With the ability to do everything from, whole genome sequencing and analysis, extract oocytes/eggs and cycle large animals, IVF, embryo maturation, implantation, gestation and gene editing. We can scale horses to significant revenue quickly and then start to use this technology on other large animals like cattle. In fact we own a few cattle that we are beginning to build out the same workflow for using the infrastructure and knowledge we already have.
Each generation provides new data and better performance and as we push boundaries our animals can do more and more whether that is for sport, agriculture or companionship.
A unicorn is our mascot not because we think it will helo the world but because if we can make a unicorn it means our platform can make so much more.

I don’t mean to be a hater, and genuinely admire the work you have done, but what’s the benefit of this other than winning someone bets?
Are you developing new tools along the way that can be applied to improving health, human or otherwise

$599. Sequence your fucking genome.
We could bury that under six paragraphs about “unlocking your potential.”
But you’re buying sequencing. Let’s talk about what you get.

Tomorrow our first AI/genetically selected embryo goes for sale at a live public auction
This embryo was bred based on our AI/ML model predictions. We have the largest dataset of horse genomes in the world and a massive performance dataset that we use to predict performance

We work with horses at Embryo Corp and horses living in small stalls, only ever walking on concrete. Never being able to run around a pasture or eat fresh grass or socialize.
It's a good thing to end that practice. Our society should be judged by the way we treat our animals

You should only be able to call yourself a teacher if your students learn. No proof of education, no title. No title, no union.

When your company's side project is gene editing cat embryos
Look at that pretty cat blastocyst embryo – at Wells Branch, TX
