About Ross Barrett
As a General Partner at Cancer Focus Fund, I collaborate with leading academic centers MD Anderson, Ochsner Health, and LSU Health Science Center to finance, design, and enroll experimental Phase I clinical trials for innovative anticancer drugs. With over 17 years of experience in biotechnology and venture capital, I have a passion for supporting and commercializing cutting-edge oncology solutions that can improve the lives of patients and their families.I am also the Co-Founder of the Prime Unicorn Index, a software platform that leverages hard-to-source, private company data into actionable analytics. Since 2015, I have been building unique financial products for institutional investors worldwide, based on the performance of U.S. private companies valued at over $1 billion. Additionally, I hold an LLM in Taxation and Corporate Restructuring from NYU School of Law and a JD from Louisiana State University and started my career as a legislative staffer to US Senator J. Bennett Johnston.
