Biotech/computer startups! We can't all be doing social networks and aggregators ;)

Just think about coding looking unto the beach with a cup of tea. Living the dream.

Are you working on a computational biotech startup? Do you know of any examples. I have only found a few that I am interested in, but they are out of Montreal and Budapest.

I am, or at least I would be if I could find some programmers. Being out of the UK probably isn't much help to you either. As for examples, most tend to be in the drug discovery/modelling area because industry will pay for that. I think there is huge potential for targeting other areas as well as industry. Some of the really good stuff is academically based, which means it just whimpers along as the funding comes in from grants; eventually, most of these projects just die because they aren't promoted and/or developed with a business mindset.
