Biomedicine is the key direction in biotechnology. Investing in biotech startups will help develop the best technologies that can solve the global problems of humanity.
These include the development of universal vaccines that protect the body from most viruses and completely prevent pandemics, gene editing, the development of brain-computer interfaces that can be used to connect the human brain to a computer system, drugs that stop inflammatory processes in the body, as well as the creation of genetically engineered, cellular and immunobiological technologies based on artificial intelligence, which help significantly simplify human life and make it more complete.
Investment portfolios created in times of upheavals and global crises show the highest returns. The mission of Richman House is to provide an opportunity for the best technological projects to find support on our platform in the current conditions, while for investors to conclude profitable agreements, as well as find and evaluate companies for promising investments that can change the world.
