The story begins in
Montana.
In the early 2000s, after two decades building some of Silicon Valley's most iconic companies as Managing Director at Sequoia Capital, Mike Goguen did something unusual — he left. Not for a competitor. Not for a bigger fund. He left for a place where the sky was wider and the thinking was clearer: Whitefish, Montana.
He founded Two Bear Farm — a certified organic operation. Two Bear Air Rescue, which has completed over 600 backcountry helicopter search and rescue missions. A Therapeutic Riding Center. And quietly, over years of watching science evolve, he began to see a convergence that no one in venture capital was paying attention to.
The human genome had been sequenced. Structural biology was yielding to computation. Machine learning was beginning to crack problems that had stumped researchers for decades. Mike had spent twenty years backing the digital revolution. He recognized the same pattern — and this time it was pointing directly at the human body.
