There's a crazy story in here where Sytse invested in a click chemistry cancer research startup (Shasqi) in 2017 and ends up becoming a customer six years later.

I sincerely hope it works out for him.

Also helps we were all batchmates in W15, so the serendipity is even higher.

		Yes, it felt like the universe provided in this case. I invest in my batch mate. We end up becoming best friends, our wifes become best friends. Biotech VCs are afraid click chemistry isn't hot enough. I lead multiple rounds and become the biggest investor and it becomes my biggest investment. The year I get cancer click-chemistry wins a Nobel prize. And I become a patient. Unbelievable.
