Valo’s Opal platform is a fully integrated target discovery and drug development
capability uniquely anchored on human-centric data and machine learning

Valo is building a systems optimized drug development capability with a single unified architecture
founded upon world-class human data and machine learning anchored computation. Opal is a
proprietary, integrated, end-to-end target discovery and drug development platform accelerated by
a self-reinforcing data→drug→compute flywheel

Opal is a fully unified, end-to-end platform with applications across
the entirety of the discovery and development paradigm
TARGET DISCOVERY
Human data to identify human targets to treat human
disease with enhanced clinical development profiles
based on genotype-phenotype-causality linkages

CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT MOLECULE DEVELOPMENT


Improve safety, efficacy, patient Active learning, self-reinforcing, in
selection and disease selection for silico - experimental platform that
increased likelihood of success rapidly iterates to design drugs,
making targeted and specific small
molecules ‘engineerable’

MARCH 2021 6
Opal is built on a single integrated architecture enabling end-to-end
human-centric insights and connecting the phases of development
Opal programs are:
— Built on a common data framework and
analytics capability shared throughout
development
— Accelerated by the integration of data across
the end-to-end drug development continuum
— Enabled by continuous, consistent decision-
making based on risk-reward ratio and
probability of success without human bias
— Optimized for overall success, informed by
human data, regardless of program maturity
— Bolstered by Opal’s data → compute → drug
flywheel which improves the platform with
every cycle

MARCH 2021 7
Example platform validations: Opal has demonstrated an ability to
substantially accelerate advancement of programs

OPAL INDUSTRY

New target identification in days Average of 6-12 months for typical

validated in less than a week) rather than humans

New molecule identification in days Average of 1 - 2.5 years to move from


VS.

MARCH 2021 8
Opal is engineered to develop first/best-in-class therapeutic programs
across major disease areas, faster, at lower cost and with higher confidence
Valo is actively developing a suite of preclinical programs
across three therapeutic areas

Neurodegenerative Oncology Cardiovascular


- Application of patient data - Acceleration of molecule design - Application of causal modeling
analysis to discover novel target to treat underserved patient approaches to patient data to
hypotheses populations identify novel target hypotheses
- Multiple novel preclinical - Multiple drug candidates - Clinical program launch expected
