Good AI inaugural newsletter
Hi friends,
Welcome to the inaugural Good AI's newsletter.
Hope you are staying safe and well during these challenging times.
I want to let you know that we just had our first close in July 2020.
Despite the pandemic, we had earned the trust of a group of LPs ( family offices, high net-worth individuals, successful entrepreneurs ) who believe in our mission-driven investment thesis.
Just as the headline picture shows where the cartoon person is flying above the coronavirus, I feel that with a lot of conviction and keen focus, one can prevail.
Hope you enjoy the updates.
Best,
Darwin

ESG investment opportunities in healthcare during the pandemic
On September 10th, we hosted a webinar on ESG ( Environment, Social Responsibility, Corporate Governance ) investment in healthcare amidst Covid-19.
Together with Dr Steven Frutchman ( CEO of Onconova Therapeutics ) and Daniel Kern ( CIO of TFC Financial ), we have examined the latest healthcare investment trend during the pandemic. We have also discussed why ESG investment metrics are becoming most important during these challenging times.
With great progress in gene/cell/microbiome therapies and precision medicine, we all come away feeling optimistic about the future.
In case you didn't attend the webinar, you can still register and listen to the recording here. To follow the recording, you can download the presentation here.
Valo has raised $100 Million to make good on the promise of AI for Drug Discovery
We are excited to announce that Valo is out of stealth mode raising nearly $100 Million to tackle some very hard problems!
Congratulations to Numerate ( Guido Lanza, John Griffin, and Brandon Allgood ), which was acquired by Valo back in November 2019. Numerate was one of the very first AI for drug discovery companies focusing on using its computational models to screen promising drug candidates.
The pioneering work that they have done set the stage and conversation for others to follow and constantly went out of their way to build the ecosystem.
Good AI's advisor Gokul Rajaram is joining the board at Coinbase
Congratulations to Gokul Rajaram for joining the board at Conibase.
For a nascent crypto industry that is in dire need of regulation and strong governance, Gokul's appointment can't be more timely. His leadership experiences in DoorDash and Square, as well as his board appointment in Pinterest, will help the crypto startup to grow its crypto economy and create an open financial system for the world.
