Join host Michael in conversation with Jack Reid and Adam Glen, co-founders of Unicorn Bio. Discover how they're transforming biotech automation to streamline cell culture processes and manufacturing workflows. 

Unicorn Bio is a company that is driven by the vision of automating processes in biotechnology, effectively bringing about an industrial revolution in the field. Their work is centered around developing machinery with biological components to streamline manufacturing processes in the biotech industry. The company aims to create Amazon-style factories that require minimal human intervention and can mass-produce bio-based, cell-based products for various industries.

Jack and Adam, who met via an online platform during the pandemic, have successfully merged their complementary skills to guide Unicorn Biology on its path. With Jack's passion for entrepreneurship and Adam's extensive knowledge in biotechnology, the duo has managed to break new ground in an industry ripe for disruption.

The challenges faced during their journey were not insignificant. From iterating through various ideas to find the perfect product fit, to facing rejections from major banks in the UK due to their unconventional company name and their status as a young company, the hardships were numerous. The pair spoke candidly about how their identities have become intertwined with Unicorn Biology. Their mission to revolutionize biotech manufacturing is not just a job for them; it's an integral part of their lives.

The conversation also touched on the many challenges inherent to entrepreneurship. They stressed the importance of resilience, the ability to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously, and the necessity of being open to learning from failures and successes alike.
