What this is:
- I'm working on a startup called Nanocytronic whose mission is to build the world’s most advanced in vivo nano-bioengineering tools.
What we're doing:
- We're developing computer-controllable nanoprobes for bioengineering and materials science applications. BUT before we do that, we're building a nanomanufacturing device that can fabricate those nanoprobes.
- The official team is currently Colin Kakama(founder, CEO), Logan Thrasher Collins(molecular biology advisor) and Tom Moore(nanosystems advisor)
- Below is our one minute pitch (problem-solution explained in <30 seconds)
Why we’re doing this:
We want to build a commercial research lab that cranks out nanotechnological miracles. The Bell Labs of the singularity, with nanomachinery as a core platform to unlock possibilities across multiple domains of medicine, enhancement, materials, space, safety and consciousness.
Our Location:
We have roots in East Africa and the San Francisco bay area.
Below is our roadmap of capabilities:
| Phase | Description/Goal | Commercial Products | Estimated Budget | Anticipated Capital Raise | Timelines | Notes Upon Completion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| None yet | $0 | - | Feb 2026 - March 2026 | Phase One Complete | ||
| None yet | $0 | - | April 2026 - June 2026 | Phase two complete | ||
| Phase three | Demonstration of core capabilities: 1) Manufacturing protocols for a cellulose nanocomposite 2) Simulating high fidelity nanomotors 3) Simulating nanosignalling 4)Designing a self manufacturing factory 5) Designing & manufacturing Nanovasculature for the bioengineering & material delivery nanoprobes |
None yet | ~<$70k | ~$100,000 pre-seed | July 2026 - TBD | add later |
| Phase four {moving some R&D and Biz dev to Oakland HQ happens here} |
World's First Nanorobots and Nanorobot Factory (Nanorobot farms and Nanofactory farms) |
None yet | largely unknown however, keep in mind that if done right, recursive replication of nanofactory parts can absorb most of this cost and get it ridiculously low |
pre-seed savings + Either: Conservative demo = ~$500k seed round to build nanoprobes/nanofactory alone. OR: Straight shot to commercial products and R&D pipeline development (nanoprobes alongside nanofactory replication) = ~$1 million+ |
TBD | add later |
| Phase five | Nano, Micro & Macro products | 1) Medical nanorobots 2) Ultra-high-performance niche nano and micro components(Specialty NEMs, MEMs, engineered nanoparticles, and functional nanosurfaces for industrial and scientific applications) 3) Miscellaneous macro products (kg scale) |
unknown | - | TBD | add later |

Our Most Important Cost Curve
Progress Ticker:
- Current Number of people we have cured/enhanced: 0
- Our nanomachines have been meaningfully deployed across: 0km of the universe
Potentially Useful R&D side projects we're interested in:
- Switching out our glucose chemistry for higher performance alternatives (stronger linkers, smaller monomers, etc.)
- Diamonds/Mechanosynthesis Without Carbon Dimer Pick and Place
