CEO's Letters. Babu™ through his eyes.

Letter #2
Democracy

Babu™ will become more than a large biotech institution. Babu™ will become a symbol. It will become a symbol for the revolution it will create. In the world of giant corporations, only another huge corporation can change the game and bring people together. This will be the starting point. However, it will take more than an anti-establishment entity to emerge; this is not enough to build a New World. Upon the ashes of the old thinking, Babu™ will finally become the symbol it deserves to be. This Revolution starts with Democracy.
​
Science is not slow; it is a lack of money and people that slow it down. By the end of the day, it is the idea that really counts. But in the current system it does not. The father of an idea approaches other people who find 100 arguments for why this idea will not work and only one reason why it should be done. They are entangled in the oldest pattern of thinking: progress is good as long as it is slow. This is the only way they find to maintain the world by maintaining themselves. In reality, if that proportion was flipped, we already would have most of our answers to living longer, healthier, and better.

Babu™ listens to EVERYONE. It’s the idea that counts and Babu™ wants to count them as many as they come as long as they are amazingly unique. No matter if you are 12, 20, 40, or 80 – if your scientific idea falls into at least one of the Three Pillars and its truly ground-breaking, Babu™ will fund it, Babu™ will lead it to completion, Babu™ will protect it. Babu™ is non-profit and will act as a household name as a scientific stronghold. Not only is every idea safe with Babu™, but if it’s good, it will be good for everyone.

Imagine this. You are a 15-year old student from Iran or an 80-year old Harvard professor. You know that no matter who you are, if you’ve got a Babu™-size scientific idea, you submit it through its special Project Submission System (PSS) and let the world’s biggest Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), eventually composed of exactly 100 Members, decide whether or not Babu™ wants to take care of it. If it does, your well-thought idea becomes a Babu™ Project. Because Babu’s™ money comes mostly from private sources, it has financial flexibility and freedom that governmental and other traditional funds don’t. And because it funds your Project between 50 to 100% of total costs simultaneously providing scientific and essential support, your Project takes 2-3 years instead of 10 to come to completion. No matter the final result, as long as it is successful everyone wins: the investors get their extremely high return of investment, the scientists have their Project done, Babu™ gets its cut and becomes the protector of the idea, and the patients – they get their next miracle. Now imagine that anyone can be a donator and everyone can become a Babu™ investor. Also keep in mind that each SAB Member has only one vote and 32 Members per Pillar makes each submitted idea not only properly assessed, but it’s the democratic nature of the PSS that secures… well, everything.

Sounds like a plan?
