Just last week, a new biotech company called Juno Therapeutics was launched to the tune of $120 million in Series A financing. Where did this money come from? From the generous coffers of venture capital firms, including ARCH Venture Partners and the Alaska Permanent Fund. Such it is with every startup—venture capital is part of what makes new biotechs and biopharmas blossom. So, which VC companies invested money in those fields this year? Below is a list of 30 top venture capital firms, and broader financial firms that invest venture capital or other equity in early- to late-stage biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, ranked by total capital under management or, for some firms, total active “committed” capital from funds in use.
