Seth Morton
Founder of Strand
I love learning and systems thinking, especially when it comes to problems in AI and biology. I started my first company at 12, finished CS at Northeastern in my first year, left to study philosophy at Tufts, then dropped out to build in SF’s biotech scene. My dream is to experience exoplanets and to be part of answering some of life’s biggest questions.
I’m currently working on Strand, a platform for engineering scalable microbes.
I write about my experiences and thoughts on my blog.
