Problem:
Full gene
sequencing takes
days…
Today’s Solution:
Cheap, fast…LESS
ACCURATE sequencing
Start-up value proposition: Fast, accurate full sequencing at reduced cost
• Problem: Reduce
sequencing computation cost
• Solution: Reduce
sequencing time by 50x
• SAM: $440M
• Target: (1-2 years): $12M
• Business model: Server with
FPGA add-on card + software
sale + service
• Customer archetypes and
relationship articulated

What’s Next
• Focus on life sciences (DNA Sequencing)
• Highest pain today, getting WORSE
• Opportunity for growth in subsequent years
• 5 dominant customers with significant market share
• Less Acquisition Costs
• Strategy
• Add value to the dominant players
• Counter to Stanford-based startup strategy to compete with dominant
players
• Expand to the financial industry in subsequent years
Opportunity: Get, Keep, Grow
SAM ($M) 440
Number of dominant players 5
Market share of dominant players 70%
SAM from dominant players ($M) 308
Target Market in years 1&2 ($M) * 12
*Sell into 10% server of 2 dominant players each
