DNA storage startup BioCompute: cold-shouldered in India, funded after SF move
vaibhavbetter · x · 2026-10-22
24-year-old Anagha Rajesh self-funded ₹5 crore to build DNA data-storage lab BioCompute in Bengaluru, then sold it cheap and moved to the US where investors lined up. Investor vaibhavbetter, who put in angel money, partially corrects the viral narrative: investors from both India and SF were involved, and the company moved to SF for talent, customers and capital — but he cheers her on toward space data-center storage.
