Ex-a16z Partner Vijay Pande Launches Smaller AI-Native Biotech Fund VZVC

Vijay Pande, who previously oversaw a roughly $4 billion biotech investment practice at Andreessen Horowitz, has departed to launch VZVC, a smaller AI-focused venture fund. Pande argues that biology is undergoing a fundamental shift from a discovery-driven science to an engineering discipline, opening new opportunities for AI. Despite the promise of AI in medicine, he acknowledges that clinical trials remain prohibitively expensive, posing a persistent challenge for the sector.
