AI and VC with Jason Pontin
On this week’s episode of Ethical Data, we’re joined by Jason Pontin. London born, California raised and educated in the United Kingdom, at Harrow School and Keble College, Oxford, Jason was the editor of Red Herring, the bible of the dot.com boom. From there he moved to MIT Technology Review, wrote a column for The New York Times and founded Solve, MIT’s open innovation platform.
In 2018 he left MIT to work directly with scientist entrepreneurs, first as a senior partner at Flagship Pioneering, a life sciences innovation firm that invents the technology of its portfolio companies. In 2021, he joined DCVC, which backs companies using deep tech to build a more abundant, resilient, and equitable future.
