Biography

  • Vivek Ramaswamy is a biotech entrepreneur, author and Republican politician who ran for president in 2024.
  • A Harvard and Yale Law graduate, Ramaswamy began his career on Wall Street trading biotech stocks for the hedge fund QVT.
  • In 2015, he took public a speculative Alzheimer's drug (which later failed) in a $3 billion IPO that formed the basis of Roivant Sciences, a drug discovery and investment firm.
  • In the years since, Roivant has helped bring multiple successful drug candidates to market; positive Phase 3 trial results for brepocitinib, which targets an autoimmune disease, sent its stock soaring in late 2025.
  • Ramaswamy left Roivant in 2020 to write Woke, Inc., a best seller, and found Strive, an asset manager that provides anti-woke investment funds.
  • Ramaswamy helped Elon Musk found DOGE as its co-head, but departed after a few weeks amid reports of butting heads with Musk.
  • Ramaswamy graduated as valedictorian from St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio.
