Washington

The old cars and coffee on a day dominated by Seattle in Washington

Just one State on Day 17 of The Road to 50 States, and Washington broke the stereotype by delivering further glorious weather for the team, which is always nice. Less time on the road today but no less than four interviews to enjoy, including a special visit outside of the city with Gustavo Mahler, Managing Partner of Dynamk Capital. The team got to enjoy his amazing collection of historic Citroën vehicles while gaining his insight on the next big things in pharma. Other visits included cell therapy company, Pluristyx, biologics and cell & gene therapy CDMO, AGC Biologics, and duplex sequencing specialist, TwinStrand. The team also got to meet up with one of our strategy team members, Constantin Loghinov, and enjoy some of the things that the Emerald City has to offer, including the Space Needle and a good cup of joe.
