When Gabe Otte went to college, he already had an Apple internship under his belt. In undergrad, his computer-science professors told him to diversify and pick out another area to focus on so he wasn't bored in class, so he chose biology.
Now, at 27, he just got $5.5 million in a seed-funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz's bio fund to build out a blood test that screens for the earliest signs of cancer. Founders Fund, Data Collective Venture Capital, and Third Kind Venture Capital are also in on the round.
