Portfolio Director, Breakout Labs

2015 - 2019

We built Breakout Labs in 2011 with the goal of funding deep science companies at a stage and time when we believed philanthropic capital was necessary to support the achievement of technical milestones and to coalesce a start-up ecosystem in this space. We funded 50 amazing founding teams creating an incredible community of scientists, entrepreneurs and investors committed to using science as their superpower to make science fiction a reality. Our portfolio has raised over $1B in follow-on funding, grown leather without the cow, developed therapeutics to alter the course of Alzheimer’s, transformed carbon dioxide emissions into useful products, and so much more.
