This was a super fun convo! Got to talk about a bunch of things that I've been obsessed with for a long time: -the inner work of fundraising -the magic of doing hard things -how to have great ideas -being a solo founder -fantasy novels as meaning-makers for founders :)
Startups are hard, do something that matters | Armand Cognetta, Founder & CEO General Proximity In the latest episode of the Nucleate Podcast , we sit down with Armand Cognetta , CEO and founder of General Proximity to explore how a deep curiosity for chemical biology and a commitment to bold problem-solving led him to build a proximity therapeutics platform from the ground up. Armand shares his journey, from taking time off college due to poor grades to raising millions for a startup tackling some of biotech’s hardest problems. He speaks candidly about the emotional toll of solo founding, imposter syndrome, and what it means to stay mission-driven through uncertainty. In this episode, you’ll hear insights on: 🔬 Building a novel biotech platform grounded in molecular proximity 💡 Navigating impostor syndrome and early-stage fundraising failures 🎯 Why high hiring standards and mission alignment are non-negotiable 🔥 What keeps founders going when the road gets hard This conversation is raw, practical, and deeply resonant for anyone navigating the ups and downs of innovation.

I'm looking to bring on our first senior leadership role in drug discovery (Sr. Director/VP) at General Proximity. We have an insanely high talent density team (https://www.prox.bio/team) so the bar for this role is extremely high. Shoot me a dm if you think you might be a good fit.

I'm always surprised by how many health-focused biotechs and labs feed their team pizza, bagels, and donuts. We do things a little differently at General Proximity, with benefits from Locale, Function Health, Nebula Genomics, and One Medical, as well as a number of other incentives to help our team members reach peak performance in their personal and professional lives.

In the first of my two exclusives for today, Drug discovery platform General Proximity raised an $8 million seed, CEO Armand Cognetta told me exclusively. The round was led by Aydin Senkut, founder of Felicis. Proximity therapeutics is an approach that takes an "undruggable" protein or enzyme and forces it in proximity with a drug target. This method shows promise in identifying drug candidates for difficult-to-treat conditions like dementia. See more details blow 👇
