Emerald BioVentures

About

Emerald Bioventures was formed to incubate and build transformational life sciences companies with extraordinary entrepreneurs. Based on cutting-edge science, medicine, and technology, our aim is to improve human health today and for future generations.

Emerald is one of at least several dozen life sciences focused incubators based in the United States. ​

A unique aspect of our philosophy is the combination of a mission-driven approach with a focus on “white space” problems.​

That is, we take on hard problems that, if solved, have the potential to positively impact humanity. ​

We will often start with a blank sheet of paper and look at a difficult medical issue like autism, breast cancer, heart failure or the obesity epidemic and we ask “how can one best address these diseases?” ​

We then go about creating a for-profit business that will permit this to happen. In other cases, we will encounter a new technology or scientific innovation and then go through an ideation phase of figuring out how to use the innovation for the benefit of patients. ​

A key aspect of Emerald’s philosophy is that mission-driven businesses need to ultimately become profitable. Otherwise, they will not be able to deliver on their mission.

By partnering with leading academic institutions and biotech entrepreneurs all over the world, we are advancing a diversified pipeline of novel therapeutics, each targeting a biological driver of aging. Our approach is to develop interventions that treat specific diseases first, then deploy them as preventative medicines to improve overall quality of life as we age. Cambrian is a Distributed Development Company (or DisCo) which combines the advantages of a venture capital firm and a big pharmaceutical company, with the nimbleness of a biotech startup. Cambrian’s sourcing and development engine allows us to identify promising science, deploy capital and teams of drug development experts, and provide stewardship to advance new medicines. By leveraging established expertise and repeatable functional models, we achieve vast efficiencies in execution speed and resource utilization. To date, we have 14 novel therapeutics in development, and having closed a Series C financing round in October 2021 which raised $100 million, we plan to expand the number of programs. Further, we expect to initiate clinical trials for three programs in the next 18 months.

Third Rock Ventures

When we founded the firm in 2007, our imaginations were on fire with the possibility of translating scientific discoveries to breakthrough medicines. Could we finally find cures for cancer? Would we be able to diagnose diseases before they even appear? How far could we go in restoring hope and quality of life to patients with incurable conditions? We dared to believe that nothing was impossible. To achieve what hadn’t been done before, we created a process that hadn’t been done before. By starting with big ideas and fostering collaboration among brilliant people with expertise in science, medicine, business and strategy, we set out to do more than fund startups – we aim to build sustainable, innovative companies that can transform the lives of patients. Discover Our Discovery effort is a collaborative and iterative process. We look for emerging fields of science and medicine where the time is right for us to bring transformative change to areas of unmet medical need. Working with leading scientific founders and expert advisors, we then develop a clear vision and strategy for a company with the patient front and center. With 12 years and over 50 companies worth of experience, we have created an industry-leading and differentiated approach to bring breakthrough science to patients. Launch Once a company concept has been refined and optimized through our Discovery process, we Launch the company with the necessary financial, technical and human resources to enable it to reach milestones critical for its growth and success. We become active members of the company’s leadership team, serving in interim roles to ensure the execution of the company’s R&D strategy, and to build a world-class team that shares the company’s scientific vision. Importantly, we work to establish a dynamic and innovative culture at launch where the growing team has a unified passion and commitment to make a difference in the lives of patients. Build Next, we Build on that foundation. We transition out of our interim roles and establish experienced and motivated management teams. As board members and domain experts, we work with these teams for as long as is needed to relentlessly execute on the strategy, bringing whatever resources are required from within the firm to deliver on our commitment to patients. An important element is the work we do to cultivate future partnerships and drive value creating transactions. Our companies also have access to our Beyond Great learning community, which provides peer-to-peer networking for leaders across the portfolio as well as tools and resources focused on shared elements of building successful and sustainable companies.
