Venture Capital
Illinois
OS Fund was founded by Bryan Johnson in 2014 with a personal investment of $100 million. Johnson, Jeff Klunzinger and team worked to prove out the investment thesis that biology is programmable. We seek out platforms and enabling technologies, and have invested in many that have dramatically improved the world (i.e. Ginkgo Bioworks). Our portfolio companies develop their own intellectual property to bring technologies to market that solve real-world challenges with significant impact. They also employ a business model that enables further discovery not just for themselves, but for the surrounding ecosystem as well. When these characteristics are present, we invest with high conviction early in the company’s life and remain closely involved thereafter. We partner with entrepreneurs who are developing novel solutions that promise to rewrite operating systems (OS) and discover solutions to previously unsolvable problems.
