xPharma's CBO on building a marketplace for pharma deals, New York

Hi all, I'm Teng Lin, CBO at xPharma in New York. We're building a marketplace that turns innovative science into transactable medicine: verified biotech assets that are ready for licensing, funding, or acquisition. The goal is to shorten the path from molecule to medicine.

On the tooling side, I work daily with Claude, Gemini, Grok, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex. I'm still figuring out which of them fits best for which kind of work, and I'd like to hear how others in the community decide that.

What I'd love from you: an intro to anyone who has built or invested in a marketplace with complex, high-trust transactions, or who has thoughts on how to verify what's listed. Happy to share what I learn in return.

    Welcome to Lounge, Teng. Verification seems like the hard part here, since a biotech asset listing is only as useful as the data room behind it. Are you using models to pre-screen things like patent status and trial data, or is that still done by people on your team?
