  • 1.  Introduction - Joel Harris (Genvax Technologies and Ag Startup Engine)

    Posted 05-31-2023 12:59

    Hello Founders,

    My name is Joel Harris and I'm the CEO and Co-founder of Genvax Technologies. Genvax is bring next-generation mRNA vaccines to Animal Health. I am also the Executive Director of Ag Startup Engine (ASE). ASE is an early pre-seed fund passed in Iowa focused on agriculture technology startups. We've invested in over 30 startups since 2017 with 3 exits under our belt. We're hoping to launch another seed fund in the next 6-12 months and gearing up for a larger venture fund in the next 1-2 years. 

    As a founder who had a previous exit (Harrisvaccine to Merck AH in 2015) I am always looking to connect with founders, investors, and disruptors. I'm happy to open up my agtech and animal health network. 

    Looking forward to participating in this channel.
