This biotech firm funds and fosters creators of novel drugs, having helped launch more than 100 companies that now total more than $180 billion in market value. It’s no household name, but one of its progeny is: Flagship birthed Moderna, maker of the vital RNA-driven COVID vaccine. Another Flagship startup, Laronde, is now aiming to leverage “endless RNA” tech to fight other diseases.
