OS Fund invests in entrepreneurs using applied intelligence to commercialize breakthrough discoveries in genomics, synthetic biology, diagnostics, new materials, and data and energy. We seek out platform enabling technologies that accelerate discovery and commercialization. We never invest in a single molecule, model or algorithm. We do hard science investing with technology level risk.
We work with our portfolio companies to develop foundational IP that solves real-world challenges and paves a path for commercialization. We’ve thoughtfully constructed a cross-disciplinary group of companies that are each uniquely contributing to the robust ecosystem they all need to thrive.
