Harry McNamara

Yo, so I gotta tell you about Harry McNamara. This guy’s the real deal, no cap. He rolled in with some serious cred from YC’s S18 batch, that’s the same class that’s churned out some of the hottest startups lately. Before all that, he was involved with C16 Biosciences, which is dope because that’s all about tackling big-ass problems like climate change and sustainability, especially around palm oil, which is a huge environmental villain.

From what I dig up, Harry’s been deep into biotech and environmental tech. He’s not just some guy jumping into startups for the hype, dude’s actually built something that matters, like a palm oil farm that’s probably trying to change how we think about sustainability in agriculture. That’s some advanced stuff, turning a major climate issue into a business that can scale.

He’s got a solid research background, with ties to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, meaning he’s got serious academic chops mixed with startup hustle. That combo? It’s rare. It shows he’s not just about grinding away; he’s about tackling real-world problems with science and tech, and he’s got the brains to pull it off.

What’s crazy is, his process screams passion for impact. Like, he’s not just in it for the money, he jumped into biotech because he sees the bigger picture. Starting C16 Biosciences, building farms, and tackling global issues? That’s the kind of mission-driven shit that separates the real entrepreneurs from the noise.

Bottom line? Harry’s a guy who’s crushed it early, backed by YC, with a track record of building meaningful tech that fights climate change. He’s the kind of founder who’s not just riding the wave but shaping it, someone you gotta watch, ’cause he’s onto some next-gen stuff and genuinely trying to make the world better.
