Loop Genomics is a platform technology for long-read DNA sequencing. Loop Genomics technology transforms short-read DNA sequencers into high-throughput, long-read, single-molecule DNA sequencing machines. Loop Genomics long-read DNA sequencing technology provides phased sequencing solutions across a diverse repertoire of research and clinical applications. Sequencing of partial rRNA gene sequences results in reduced phylogenetic resolution. Full-length, high-throughput, phased sequencing that covers all 16S variable regions is becoming the gold standard for profiling the microbiome. Achieve the highest resolution microbial community profiling with long-read, next-generation sequencing of the microbiome. Characterizing polymorphisms in HLA genes inside and outside of the protein-coding regions is important for organ transplantation compatibility testing and for strengthening causality association studies. The length of homologous sequences between HLA alleles extends beyond the capabilities of short-read sequencing platforms, resulting in diploid ambiguities and a reliance on imputation. Sequence full-length HLA DNA and/or RNA with phased, high throughput, long-read sequencing that resolves allelic discrimination and diploid ambiguity. Viral genetic variability is a major determinant of viral drug resistance and viral vaccine efficacy. Accurately mapping viral genetic variability is a critical step in choosing the optimal course of therapy and developing efficacious vaccines. Key mutations are typically located throughout long stretches of viral genomes, making the retrieval of critical phased data challenging using short-read sequencing technology. Use phased, high-throughput DNA sequencing technology to map key mutations at the quasi-species level and generate a complete phased map of viral populations.

A fundamental shift has occurred in communications services. The change affects a company's ability to grow. It impacts revenues and profitability. It determines how well an enterprise can serve its customers, work with its partners, support its employees. Yet, surprisingly, it is often overlooked by top executives. Quite simply, communications services have become mission critical. Voice, data, cellular, local, long distance, Internet access, DSL, VPN, calling cards, PBX, voice mail, unified messaging, network management, broadband access – these services are the lifeblood of any enterprise that wants to tackle global markets, innovate at Internet speed, and engage in the continuous transformation that is demanded by today's competitive environment. Unfortunately, the process of procuring and managing them has become increasingly chaotic and costly. Communications has become the third largest operational expense in mid-size companies. Even at that expense, much of it remains hidden, scattered throughout the enterprise, distributed among the business units, duplicated by mergers and acquisitions. Communications managers find themselves inundated with a mind-numbing array of service options, overwhelmed with literally boxes of bills, and continually asking for more headcount. Managing these multiple vendors diverts critical resources away from core business initiatives. Billing errors reduce funding for research, product development, marketing, and sales. Outages and downtime undermine relationships with customers and partners. With so much at stake, a comprehensive, single-source solution is needed for procuring and managing communications services.
Kalepa Networks
Seed Round in 2000
Starting as just a bunch of friends getting together on a regular basis, for more than four years the founders of Kalepa have been forming the idea behind the company. As the years passed, technology evolved and so did their concept. In early Y2K, they felt technology and the Internet had finally progressed to implement their vision, and thus they formed their company called "Kalepa." The founders, having worked together extensively in the past, form an amazing and well-oiled team. Each knows the others strengths and weaknesses, and each have the ability and the experience to augment and complement each other's skills. That is why at Kalepa, ideas become reality. Kalepa is still a small company, and thus they are able to occupy a cozy office inside the historic landmark of the Peninsula Creamery Dairy Store in downtown Palo Alto-which is a real treat, since, as they all know, ice cream (especially good ice cream) improves the mental processes (brain freeze)! It is from their origins that the Kalepa corporate culture of personal excellence, exceptional teamwork, and just pure fun was born.
