PE/VC investors
Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

We are investors in top tier biotherapeutic and digital health entrepreneurs who focus on helping patients and transforming the healthcare system.

Our raison d'être
We provide a low-cost, self-sustaining vehicle enabling our parent company to engage with the early stage innovation ecosystem when companies are too risky or early to in-license or acquire.

Our venture model serves as an "innovation front door" to Sanofi. We seek to accelerate all strategic focus areas while reaching into novel and emerging areas of science and technology.
Here are some of the areas that we currently are thinking about:
Rare diseases
Immunology and inflammation
Oncology
Cell and gene therapy
