This collaboration seeks to combine Lilly's deep expertise in drug development with Andreessen Horowitz's extensive experience in technology and venture capital to foster innovation in the biotech sector. The fund will focus on supporting startups that are developing groundbreaking therapies, particularly those leveraging cutting-edge technologies like gene editing, RNA therapies, and AI-driven drug discovery.
