Shortening the Long Game in Livestock Breeding with Gerard Davis from Nbryo

Shortening the Long Game in Livestock Breeding with Gerard Davis from Nbryo

The history of agriculture is a history of selective breeding. Whether it’s plants or animals, humans have been choosing desirable traits and making sure those traits make it to the next generation for tens of thousands of years. The challenge of this work is, of course, the timeline. Groundbreaking and world-changing advances are possible, but we are limited by seasonality, gestation periods, and even by the level of expertise required to effectively perform the high-tech work. This is the challenge that Tenacious portfolio company Nbryo is tackling– shortening the timeline for genetic advancements in livestock.

This week, we’re sitting down with Gerard Davis, CEO of Nbyro, to discuss his unconventional journey to the startup, the work the company is doing, and why he thinks genetic interventions are critical climate work.
