The Intercept Fund is a philanthropic initiative focused on developing the technologies needed to radically reduce the global burden of respiratory infections and ultimately eliminate them altogether. The fundβs founders and major donors include Stripe, Anthropic, The OpenAI Foundation, individuals at Jane Street, and Flu Lab, among others.
Their mission is a bold one:
Making Respiratory Infections A Thing Of The Past
Respiratory viruses kill 1 million people a year, cost us $600B annually, disrupt everyday life, and periodically threaten civilization.
Recent breakthroughs may make it possible to develop and deploy broad-spectrum preventatives and air cleaning technologies that defend against common respiratory infections.
Intercept is a $500M philanthropic initiative that aims to radically reduce the burden of respiratory infections, and eventually eliminate them altogether.
We feel privileged to help them manage those funds for maximum social impact.
