Nat Turner and Zach Weinberg are young, successful and ambitious. The pair formerly started an ad tech company that Google acquired for $81 million, Invite Media, and for the past two years they've been tackling a much bigger problem: cancer.
Turner and Weinberg launched Flatiron Health after seeing family and friends battle the brutal disease. Flatiron Health is taking a data-driven approach to cancer. It analyzes the results of cancer treatments and turns the information and findings it gathers into software solutions the medical community can subscribe to. Now they've raised $175 million from pharmaceutical giant Roche, which will also be purchasing some of Flatiron Health's software, The New York Times' Katie Benner reports.
