Brad Zamft is currently the CEO and co-founder of Heritable Agriculture, which combines artificial intelligence, environmentally-sensitive breeding, and gene editing to drive down costs, accelerate the time-to-market, and unlock expansive, high-value market opportunities in the agriculture industry. Prior to Heritable, Brad worked at X, the "Moonshot Factory" of Google's parent company, Alphabet, where he conceived, initiated, and led the project that would later spin out as Heritable five years later.

Prior to X, Brad was the CSO of a Andreessen Horowitz-backed startup called TL Biolabs, which aimed developing an ultra-low cost, middle-throughput genetics platform for cattle breeding.

Brad has extensive experience investing in biological research. As both a fellow at the US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) and a Program Officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he has created and managed programs in agriculture and infectious disease.

Brad received a PhD in Physics from the University of California and then went on to a post-doc in the lab of Prof. George Church at Harvard Medical School, where he performed the initial experiments attempting to construct a genetically-encodable and therefore scalable neural recording device. He is an avid backpacker, traveler, and camper.
