Will Lantern Bioworks be accepted to the next cohort of YCombinator?

James's comment just reminded me of this market, and indeed, Lantern did not make it into YC this time. (Although they did get an interview!) Perhaps a future cohort!

@beccapao 😭

bought Ṁ50 YES

What are people trading on now?

i have a prior here that it doesn't make sense for yc to back a biotech company. therefore, i put this at < 5%.

@ismellpillows How many without an app, recurring revenue, or a Medicare billing code?

@CateHall 99% of gamblers quit before they win big

@ismellpillows wow, super interesting. a lot of the recent ones look more like supply companies, but some of the alumni look like actual biotech companies.

my variance is still too high to wager. i have no clue how biotech works for yc if they can’t be sure if the tech is real though.

Assuming they applied on time, they'll hear back by tomorrow https://www.ycombinator.com/apply

@CateHall They'll "hear back" by tomorrow; I suspect they have gotten an interview based on Jamie Wahls' trades.

bought Ṁ100 YES at 21%

@MilfordHammerschmidt nice

Does Jamie Wahls have insider information that they got invited to an interview or something? Otherwise, if they haven't already been invited, they're probably not getting in. Odds of getting to the next stage go down with time and the batch is starting in a month.

Doesn't pass the sniff test, why aren't the publications linked on the science section of the website? Even after searching these publications the first two are from 1987, and the third is in a different language from the first two (?!) There's a lot of big claims on the site and none of the research shown to back them up...
