“So how do you take, like, Harvard meets MTV? That was, like, Our thesis from, like, day one.”

“We had a hundred percent healthy mice born with exactly the predicted phenotypes with the most multiplex edited delivered at one time ever.”

“I think the hardest thing we've done is reprogram, not stem cells, but scientists to work in things like JIRA and Smartsheets, like traditional software, like things”

“Yeah, 6:35 total. The last round was supposed to be 200, and it got overscribed to 400.”

“But those tissues are dead. You cannot clone from dead cells.”

“We're now pushing a new construct that we've designed and a new delivery mechanism that we think we can be doing thousands of edits at once.”

“The next 12 months, I'm looking forward to Colossal potentially having the next birthed extinct species.”

“There is no Megalodon DNA and if there was, it would be terrible to make, I mean, the ocean's scary enough, but we do get the request of Megalodon quite a bit. We're not working on Megalodon.”

“These are the second most genetically modified Multicellular organisms on the planet after our direwolves.”

“Well, we have the largest data set on elephants in the entire world.”

“So that, that, that like, so for us, and we told our investors this from day one, That inspiration needs to be as important as value creation, and you need to be on board with that. Like, if we do the greatest thing in the world that nobody knows about and lik…”

“We have this unfair advantage of recruiting, being that you get to work on things like wooly mammoth cells and like, You know, done arts versus like yeast in an academic lab”

“And then lastly, we open source all of our technologies for conservation. So anybody can use any of our technologies for free for conservation.”

“But in the future, that whole process will be automated with robotics.”

“We actually have a hair follicles growing in, in where we've taken elephant stem cells and created follicles so that we can grow mammoth hair.”
