"When you think about this particular company, these are two founders who met at a med school poker game and then raised $640m. I think that this is a testament to, if you do things using best practices, you can get an LPO loan within six years. One of the things that we're hoping to do in this version of the Loan Programs Office is to share with people that there is a right way to get institutional interest, trust, and buy in. I think there's a lot of people who think, 'Oh, it's impossible to get from concept to LPO in under 10 years.' I think these guys have proven that you can."

Truly inspiring! In my head I think any large biomanufactuing venture will take at least 15 years from start to finish. These guys prove this assumption wrong. Amazing
