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 Ukrainian bio-labs. Check my previous posts for more information:
Hunter Biden was involved in Ukrainian bio-labs
Wikipedia deleted entry of Rosemont Seneca Partners, Hunter Biden's company.
Also, Metabiota is one of "2021 Technology Pioneers" selected by the World Economic Forum.
The following emails are from Jan. 21, 2015 to Jan. 23, 2015. I redacted usernames and phone numbers from the original version.

He should have gone through me. Emailing the co founder (Brett) is not the proper protocol, nor is sending an unsolicited email that's 5MB when they have a "research inbox" for things like this.

Uber Closes On Another $1.6 Billion In Convertible Debt From Goldman Sachs
It’s hard to believe, but ride-hailing company Uber has closed on even more financing to expand its operations around the world. Fast on the heels of raising $1.2 billion in equity financing, the company brought on $1.6 billion in convertible debt from Goldman Sachs, a person with knowledge of the deal has confirmed.
Last summer, Uber raised $1.4 billion in Series D funding that valued it at $17 billion. Six months later, that valuation more than doubled to $40 billion, as it brought on an additional $1.2 billion. That Series E round had an additional $600 million available for strategic investors and hedge funds to invest.
Prior to the announcement of that round, we reported Uber was raising a bunch of convertible debt, and it looks like that deal has been finalized. As first reported by Bloomberg, the $1.6 billion in debt financing came from Goldman Sachs wealth management clients. Bloomberg noted that the financing would be in the form of a six-year bond that will convert into equity at a 20-30 percent discount to Uber’s valuation at the time
of an IPO.This brings the total amount of funding Uber has raised to more than $4 billion since being founded in 2010.
