Vice President Joe Biden is making a pitch to the health startup community, asking for its help to fight cancer. On Monday, Biden spoke to a crowd of about 300 at a San Francisco festival sponsored by StartUp Health, a health tech accelerator. He spoke about his Cancer Moonshot initiative he was asked to lead by President Barack Obama. Biden's mission is to help find strategies to combat cancer, including more research and funding from the government and private sector. Biden's eldest son and former Delaware Attorney General, Beau, died of brain cancer in May 2015.
