I'm archiving Metabiota emails from Hunter Biden's laptop. There were more than 250 pdf files, but many of them were redundant(multiple files with the same content). I'll try to archive them in chronological order here. Hopefully, those emails could provide a glimpse of what was going on with Hunter Biden and Metabiota.
Metabiota is a pathogen research company associated with Hunter Biden's investment company Rosemont Seneca Partners and also Ukrainina bio-labs. Check my previous posts for more information:
[Hunter Biden was involved in Ukrainian bio-labs](https://hive.blog/hive-122315/@rocket47/hunter-biden-was-involved-in-ukranian-bio-labs)
[Wikipedia deleted entry of Rosemont Seneca Partners, Hunter Biden's company.](https://hive.blog/hive-122315/@rocket47/wikipedia-deleted-entry-of-rosement-seneca-partners-hunter-biden-s-company)
Also, Metabiota is one of ["2021 Technology Pioneers"](https://widgets.weforum.org/techpioneers-2021/metabiota/) selected by the World Economic Forum.
The following emails are from Apr. 17, 2014 to Apr. 18, 2014. I redacted usernames and phone numbers from the original version.

Subject: Meeting Report: NB 4/17/2014
Neil, Hunter and Devon,
Thank you for taking the time to join us for the video conference and the call with NB. It is huge to have our whole IC in today’s meeting. Both meetings in our SF office and at Counsyl went very well. Chuba and Eric from Counsyl did a fantastic job presenting Counsyl. We took NB to the airport after a total of 4.5 hours of meeting.
We made the ask for $100M again during the meeting. NB mentioned that it is very rare that they get to move so fast with a fund, and it is also rare that RSTP has already met most of its key IC members at such quick timing. NB brought in one of their clients , Texas Permanent School Fund, a $30B endowment fund to the meetings today. NB said this endowment can be a RSTP direct client. All these are very positive postures.
The next step is NB would like to have a call with Ramji. They would like to see more deal memos (Cataphora and Metabiota, Project Leo and Project Spider). They will also start calling RSTP references very shortly. Please notify your references that NB might be calling them. John and I will meet with Gilman Louie tomorrow morning. NB helped seeded Gilman’s fund, andhis name came up a few times already during our meetings with NB.
Huge progress with NB. Great work from the whole team!

Yes, great team work and thanks all for making this happen!
NB told us that their diligence process is going to be a reference-heavy process since we do not have multiple funds and portfolio companies to diligence. In short, they WILL be calling your references so make sure you are current with them and alert them to this.
Additionally, they are a big LP of Siris and sit on Frank's advisory board. I had a call with Frank last week and think he will be supportive of us, but Devon you should also reach out to him and perhaps Neil as well to reinforce the love there. They will call Frank for sure. Im sure they will also do lots of other off sheet references.
We are very close with NB and today did a lot to advance that. Paul Daggett told me they are discussing us at their IC meeting on Monday and will work to go to final IC committee on the fund and the direct on 4/28.
Best,
John

Great job all. Agree with John's suggestions especially re: Devon and Neil following with Frank as soon as possible. His name came up several times in our meetings.
John agree on all other suggestions as well. Great news that Paul was there today, he was traveling for our Dallas meeting.
Keep up the good work all!

Neil,
Thanks for the background on Gilman. John and I have known him for many years since our kids are in Pre-K. He is the vice chair of our school. I shared a ski house with his family once. Has Gilman interacted much with our DC team and you in the past?

Team,
I had a great meeting with Gilman Louie today. He is halfway raising his fund 3. NB is already in his fund again. Paul Daggatt and Brien Smith are his main guys there. He is also talking to JP Morgan who is in his current fund. He says he can be my personal reference for RSTP's fundraising process. I am reciprocating as well. He understands our fund well as his fund uses similar differentiation DC biz dev strategy but for pre revenue early stage companies wanting to get into government and non government. We can definitely send early deals his way. He can send deals that are already pass the technology risk stage to us.
Bill Coleman is a big part of his team. Gilman told me that I put the "$B" billion dollar valuation to BEA Systems. Will connect with Bill after he returns from traveling in May.
Gilman will call NB can give feedback regarding our meeting.
We need to update the reference list.
