Stemson is going to use minipigs in the next stage of their hair cloning research

[eeyore]

If you think the mouse model means nothing, you don't understand what's happening here. Same goes for Tsuji, that mouse model is not the same as regular hairloss mouse models where they just grow mouse hair on shaved mice. It's cloned human hair on the body of a nude mouse. Alexei (the cofounder who's science this is based on) was the first person to clone a human hair in a lab, period. This sets them apart from basically any other company/process ever except for Tsuji, but these guys are actually funded and organized.

Either way, I'm saying the exact same thing as you. I'm not telling people that this is the end of hairloss and to be overly optimistic. I'm just saying to stop wasting your time/effort debating the process based on single lines of text in an interview. I think Stemson has a really good shot of accomplishing what they set out to, which is to offer us unlimited hair in the future. That future isn't going to be in the next 5~ years though, so don't cling to the idea of them as being some savior to rescue you from your current situation.

You don't think 5 years is possible anymore even for people willing to pay a premium price?

Nothing new
Instead interviewing Hamilton, they should get a interview with Alexey.

He may able to say what they already done in terms of technology and what is the next steps and changelles. It will be more instering instead of emotional speeches about baldness

We will wait a bit for such an interview, I wonder if this hair will last more than one season, I honestly write, I hope for commercialization in 2030

"15 million is absolutely nothing when we talk about this kind of investment, and the profit potential of a hair loss cure. It just shows they know this will lead nowhere."

"15 million is absolutely nothing when we talk about this kind of investment, and the profit potential of a hair loss cure. It just shows they know this will lead nowhere."

This guy is nice but doesn't know sh*t about how research funding works. If they knew this will lead nowhere, they would not invest at all.

What happens is that investors will continuously invest in the research as it reaches its development milestones. This allows i) a limited risk for the investors who limits their sunk costs if the research fails during its development phase and ii) less dilution for the management as each milestones triggers a greater company valuation and therefore, each new investment is less diluting than it would have been if it were a one-shot investment at the very beginning of research.

In addition to that, there is no financial player in the industry keen to invest 15m€ in what he perceives as a busted tech. 99% of the times, funds have ticket size limitations (i.e. a min and max of investment size). This prevents the fund to invest insignificant amounts. Investments funds are very pragmatic when it comes to money, believe me.

My point is not to say this will be a success but that there is nothing, if not good news, to conclude from this funding round.

I don't always invest 15 million dollars in a company, but when I do it's because I know it will lead nowhere

Does he know it's a series A investment? Or even what that is? What exactly is he expecting, people to throw around hundreds of millions for invalidated ideas? Someone should tell him that Facebook's Series A was around 12.5 million dollars, so I guess this company is a little bit less likely to lead no where then Facebook?

Once Stemson has some proof of concept trials or is about to move into human trials, they will raise another round of funding in the ball park of 35-60 mil.
