About Sanofi Ventures

Sanofi Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Sanofi, investing globally in early-stage biotech and digital health companies aligned with Sanofi’s mission. Since its inception in 2012, Sanofi Ventures has deployed over $800 million across more than 70 innovative companies in biotech and digital health. The fund focuses on areas such as immunology, rare diseases, neurology, and vaccines, investing across all stages of the private company lifecycle, from Seed to Series B and beyond. Sanofi Ventures leads financings, serves on boards, and works alongside portfolio companies to drive long-term value. In September 2025, Sanofi committed an additional $625 million to Sanofi Ventures, increasing its total assets under management to over $1.4 billion. This commitment aims to accelerate investment in biotech and digital health innovation, supporting Sanofi’s long-term growth strategy. The fund's evergreen structure allows it to invest in early-stage companies that are too early to partner with or acquire, serving as an entry point to the innovation ecosystem for Sanofi. Sanofi Ventures has a diverse, globally distributed portfolio of companies advancing innovation around the world. The fund's strategic importance is highlighted by its recent performance, including three realized exits in 2024 with a combined acquisition value of $3.25 billion. By providing essential financial backing and strategic support, Sanofi Ventures plays a crucial role in advancing healthcare innovation and reinforcing Sanofi’s position as a leading catalyst for breakthrough science in healthcare.
