Errik Anderson is the CEO and Founder of ⁠⁠Alloy Therapeutics⁠⁠. Founded in 2017, the company democratizes access to drug discovery platforms and services. In our conversation, we discuss Alloy's product offering and story. Alloy has rapidly grown into a thriving ecosystem empowering the global scientific community. The company's innovative business model is centered on 3 pillars: platforms, services, and company creation. Alloy develops technologies such as its ⁠ATX-Gx⁠ humanized transgenic mice antibody discovery platform and makes them available to partners through non-exclusive, affordable licensing. This allows even academic labs and small biotechs to use powerful tools previously only accessible to large pharmas. Alloy also provides tailored drug discovery services, running campaigns for clients seeking to outsource highly specialized work. Anderson embraces the "service mentality" as it generates revenue to improve Alloy's platforms, while solving problems for partners. The third pillar is Alloy's venture studio ⁠82VS⁠, which incubates startups. By providing access to platforms, services, and expertise, Alloy enables entrepreneurs to rapidly validate ideas and generate data, removing traditional barriers faced by first-time founders. Anderson views this as a way to "democratize" access not just to technology, but also capital and talent. Fundamental to Alloy's model is a commitment to accessibility and collaboration. Anderson envisions that sharing innovations, rather than hoarding them, can accelerate the overall pace of progress. The company now has over 150 partners, including top pharmas, biotechs, and academics. Unusually, Alloy reinvests 100% of its revenues into developing new technologies and making them available to all. This mentality allows for a longer-term approach compared to the traditional biotech company. Anderson's vision for Alloy is ambitious - to reduce barriers so the best scientific ideas can efficiently become therapies that help patients. Leading to a motto emblazoned on everything from shirts to jackets: 'Let the best drug win.' Central to Alloy's identity is Anderson himself. Anderson thinks in unique ways, evidenced by Alloy's unique perpetual structure - its controlling stock can never be sold. This allows for indefinitely long timelines, reinforced by the policy of reinvesting all revenues. Looking ahead, Alloy is expanding into new modalities like ⁠oligonucleotides⁠, ⁠cell therapy⁠ and peptide discovery. Continuing to drive its democratization agenda, Alloy has potential to reshape how biotech innovation happens. With Anderson's bold vision, the company is accelerating scientific progress and drug development. By enabling startups and academic groups to access tools previously only available to big pharma. Alloy now powers drugs heading into the clinic across its network.
