I had no idea Steve Jobs had a son lol
and not only does he sound exactly like his dad, but he also has one of the most poetic full-circle stories in Silicon Valley:
Reed was 12 when Steve was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer
by 15, he was already interning in a Stanford oncology lab
Steve died while Reed was at Stanford
4 years after Steve died, Reed started investing in cancer research and biotech companies
that work eventually became Yosemite, his VC firm focused entirely on cancer
the Jobs family fortune helped seed it, and today Yosemite manages $1B+ and backs around 25 cancer companies
its bets include AI drug discovery, gene editing, cancer vaccines and targeted radioactive treatments
Reed’s goal is to make cancer non-lethal in his lifetime
and he named Yosemite after the park where Steve and Laurene got married
