Serge Faguet

Non-Exec Co-founder

2021 - 2022

Multiomic Health is an AI + bio company using ultra-deep-omics data to identify high-dimensional clusters of patients in diabetic kidney disease. Multiomic is a candidate to be the first personalized treatment developer in metabolic disease (world's largest disease by death rate and market size) and is funded by multiple leading investors. I was the first investor and co-founded the company with biotech exec Robert Thong and deep tech VC Alasdair Thong. This came out of my lifelong passion for life extension – metabolic disease is intimately related to the leading mechanisms of aging, and given its multifactorial nature only AI will be able to make a significant impact here.

Co-Founder & CEO

2017 - 2019

AI-driven B2C mobile application. As founder/CEO I raised ~$5m from leading investors (YCombinator, Greylock, SV Angel, one of Peter Thiel's funds and others) + designed a team that built a highly-rated app with >20m downloads. Left after hiring successor CEO because the company was not a fit for my long-term interests + we failed to make the tech work prior to the start of the generative AI revolution
