Profile Picture

Johan Jessen

I believe advanced technology is our best path to advance humanity.

Currently, I am investing in founders who make sci-fi real at byFounders. Previously, I co-founded a biotech firm to understand and predict diseases from rare protein biomarkers.

In California I helped build and scale Lyft Level 5 self-driving car unit. And at Google X I invented and launched moonshots in robotics, biology, and aerospace. My research interests focus on novel computing, design, and trust.

Occasionally, I write essays about what it means to design advanced technology and how to think bigger.
