Every startup has a distinct origin story, painting a unique journey from inception to its current state. While many first-time founders narrate tales of starting from scratch, not every startup's story follows this path. The essence of a startup lies in the narrative of its evolution - how it materialized and grew into what it is today. Understanding the history, the pivotal figures involved, and the core mission is crucial in crafting a clear and compelling story for any business.

“I am mindful that scientific achievement is rooted in the past, is cultivated to full stature by many contemporaries and flourishes only in favorable environment.” - Ernest O. Lawrence. Ernest Lawrence was an American nuclear physicist and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1939 for his invention of the cyclotron. He was born and educated in South Dakota. In 2023, he was portrayed in the Christopher Nolan film, 'Oppenheimer,' which explores the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the development of the atomic bomb, a project to which Lawrence significantly contributed.
