Indian Founders Often Move to San Francisco Post-Graduation

Engineer Anagha Rajesh, through her company BioCompute, successfully wrote digital data into the DNA of living bacteria and read it back out.

Anagha Rajesh is moving BioCompute and its seed round to San Francisco, citing India's "graduation cliff" for deep-tech companies.

The "graduation cliff" describes how 85% of India's seed-funded ventures never reach Series A, proving near-fatal for long-term deep-tech bets like BioCompute due to a lack of later-stage funding.
