Octagon Therapeutics shuts down after 'unresolved biology questions' Octagon Therapeutics, led by CEO Isaac Stoner, is shutting down after halting work on B cell immunomodulator and facing biology questions in pipeline program.

Absolute poetic irony that Octagon Therapeutics gets significant press coverage when we announce we are winding down the company.

I would have begged for this kind of exposure when things were going well! πŸ˜‚

Within every startup ecosystem there exists a class of company that:
- is extremely well-funded by non-specialist VCs
- gets a ton of press and meetings with high profile non-specialists (politicians and dignitaries)
- everyone in the ecosystem knows it is AT BEST a dud and AT WORST a total scam

If you're a life science company and you use "foundry" or "full stack" in your pitch....you are probably full of shit.
