Build big with us in Miami this winter.

We provide the capital, compute, unicorn mentors, and high-intensity lab setting. You bring the ambition.

Anyone can build now. Few dare to aim big enough.

That's why we're launching Southbound W27 by @thelabmiami & @focal_vc today.

Code is now cheap, abundant, and written by machines. What’s scarce is real ambition, intelligence, compute, and distribution.

It's what Southbound is built for: To help the best technical founders think bigger and move faster from day 1.

We're now opening applications to the second cohort of our winter residency.

If you want to:
- Escape the cold
- Work on an absurdly ambitious problem, surrounded by your best technical peers
- Get weekly mentorship by unicorn founders
- Funding on an uncapped MFN SAFE (vs giving up 7%)
- $1M in perks and compute
- and much more

... then join us in Miami from Jan 11 - Apr 11 2027.

Southbound is:
- Limited to 10 spots (teams or solo founders)
- Fully in person in Miami
- 7 days / week in office.

The cohort is small by design: Instead of being a number in a big batch, you get a hand-picked group of your best peers, weekly dinners with unicorn founders, and real time with focal’s GPs.

Rolling admission until all 10 spots are filled / applications close Dec 11.

Apply asap (link in comments!)

Here’s to the one person biotech!

The one-person biotech is about more than team size. It's about where the industry is heading.

As biotech becomes more distributed and accessible, deciding what to build, how, and when becomes increasingly important.

Today we're introducing Praxis, our integrated biotech development platform.

From scientific hypotheses and clinical strategy to CRO selection and financing, we're building the infrastructure for a new generation of biotech companies.

We're opening applications for our first 20 companies.

Exceptional builders bring 100X the output of good builders. And the gap widens with each model release.

They expertly pull the puppet strings on new models and infra. Its become awe inspiring to watch the best work in this age of AI-leverage.

We're inviting 10 of them for 3 months to spend the winter with us in Miami. Paying with $, compute, and unicorn founder mentorship. Seeing how far they go when surrounded by their equally intense peers.

Big launch from Coworker: OM2, 9x cheaper enterprise AI. Congrats Alex and team!

Today we're launching OM2.

Your AI re-reads your entire company from scratch every time you ask it something.

It’s why more than 50% of your token bill isn't in the answer, but in the search for it.

OM2 gives your AI a permanent memory of your company. 🧠
