Johnson launched the OS Fund with $100 million of his personal capital. The fund draws its name from the acronym for operating system (OS), the software that underlies the basic functions of computers and provides a foundation for other applications. Johnson, who has said “everything in life has an operating system,” said the OS Fund will invest in companies challenging traditional approaches to medicine, healthcare, transportation, life sciences, and other areas. In September 2015, OS Fund published the methodology it uses to evaluate investments in the field of synthetic biology. Johnson said the fund publicly released the "playbook" on its website to encourage others to invest in emerging sciences. Johnson is the fund’s general partner. Jeff Klunzinger, formerly the chief financial officer of West Family Investments, is the fund’s managing director.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「OS Fund」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
