Valo CEO David Berry (Flagship Pioneering)

Koch's 'dis­rup­tive' VC bets $110M on one of Flag­ship's new, big com­pu­ta­tion­al star­tups

David Berry joined Flag­ship as a Har­vard and MIT wun­derkind in 2005 and by now he’s been at the firm al­most as long as any­one not named Noubar. He’s played a hand in some of their biggest star­tups, in­clud­ing Seres, Omega, KSQ, Evelo and, of course, Mod­er­na.

Flag­ship is known for its flash, but over the last cou­ple years, Berry has been qui­et­ly build­ing a com­pu­ta­tion­al start­up in Boston that he thinks can re­make drug de­vel­op­ment in a way that, for all the buzz, ma­chine learn­ing and ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence have yet to do.
