<p id="speakable-summary" class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph">When Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aloeblacc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Aloe Blacc</a> got COVID despite being vaccinated and boosted, he tried to fund research for a better solution. What he quickly found out? You can’t just write a check in biotech. Regulators require a commercialization plan, and philanthropy doesn’t move science through clinical trials or get you a license on university IP. Now, he’s bootstrapping a cancer drug platform targeting pancreatic cancer, a disease that kills 90% of its patients, and intentionally waiting to raise from his network until peer-reviewed papers can make his case. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On this episode of TechCrunch’s <em>Equity</em> podcast, Rebecca Bellan sits down with Aloe Blacc to talk about what happens when a creator decides to build instead of just invest, how Aloe is watching AI reshape both the biotech and music industries in real time, and his thoughts on who actually wins. </p>
