Welcome to another episode of the DeSci Podcast. In this episode, we had the pleasure of talking with Andrew Verbinnen and Andrew Bakst from HairDAO, the second BioDAO ever to mint an IP-NFT. Their mission is to turn hair loss into a problem of the past by funding assets that they believe will accelerate its cure. Throughout the conversation, we delve into a variety of fascinating topics related to hair loss.

We explore the bigger picture of this issue and highlight the crucial role of DeSci in expediting the discovery of solutions. And our guests also provide valuable insights gained from their experience in building in this ecosystem, shining a light on the HairDAO community, as well as the exciting projects that they have funded and upcoming initiatives.
