Daniel Robinson

Daniel Robinson brings to the Jacob Zabara Foundation a career at the frontier of science, venture capital, and innovation strategy. He holds a BA summa cum laude from Dartmouth College, an MBA in Entrepreneurial Management from the Wharton School, and studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the University of Oxford.

Daniel’s career has spanned some of the most ambitious corners of the life sciences and deep technology investment world. As a Partner at OS Fund, he backed frontier science companies at the intersection of computation and biology, with portfolio investments including Ginkgo Bioworks, Synthego, and Atomwise. He later led platform strategy and climate initiatives at Ginkgo Bioworks, and has served as a venture partner across multiple funds focused on neurotech, techbio, and sustainability.

At the Zabara Foundation, Daniel channels that investment expertise into strategic philanthropy — identifying and funding the researchers and technologies most likely to accelerate the field of bioelectric medicine. His work is guided by the same conviction that drove Jake Zabara: that bold, well-placed bets on the right science can transform how we understand and treat the human nervous system.
