Canaan; SciFounders; a16z; Global Health Investment; Istock; Vicky Leta/InsiderInsider found 16 pioneers in the world of biotech venture capital who are shaping the industry.They're investing in new tech and taking a chance on first-time founders.
But new investors are joining the ranks of biotech venture capitalists every day, and they're bringing new ideas with them. All the VCs on this list have less than a decade of experience in the venture-capital world, and they all approach investing with a different mentality from the classic biotech approach — which typically installs an experienced CEO to prioritize a lead drug program and pave a clear path to going public.
To compile this list, Insider reached out to over 20 well-known investors, such as Andreessen Horowitz's Vijay Pande and EcoR1's Oleg Nodelman; academics such as Yale's Aaron Ring and MIT's Andrew Lo; and biotech entrepreneurs including Strand CEO Jake Becraft and Ochre CEO Jack O'Meara.
