Verge Genomics, a tech-enabled drug discovery company pioneering the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and human data to develop new drugs, announced today that Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is recognizing Verge’s Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, Alice Zhang, as one of the Most Exceptional Entrepreneurs of 2022 at its Builders and Innovators Summit in Healdsburg, California.
Goldman Sachs selected Zhang from leaders and entrepreneurs across multiple industries. Verge deeply integrates new advances in hardware, software, and molecular technologies across the entire drug development process to find better drugs, faster.

Alice has been recognized for her work as a Forbes 30 Under 30 Featured Honoree, MIT Technology Review’s Innovator Under 35, and the San Francisco Business Times’ 40 Under 40. She currently sits on the board of directors at the California Life Sciences Association. Prior to Verge, she spent five years in the UCLA-Caltech MD/PhD program and received her BA degree from Princeton University in Molecular Biology. Alice also is an angel investor and advisor for over 20 tech-enabled bio startups.
“I’m grateful to Goldman Sachs to be recognized alongside such outstanding entrepreneurs that are working to make a positive impact on society in so many diverse areas,” said Zhang. “It is exciting to see the new opportunities for growth and innovation created by these individuals who are shaping the futures of their industries.”
“We’re delighted to recognize Alice Zhang as one of the most exceptional entrepreneurs of 2022,” said David M. Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. “They have made extraordinary contributions to a wide range of fields, and all of us are looking forward to meeting with these innovative thinkers.”
