Venrock partners with entrepreneurs to achieve what others believe is impossible.
AI is making software radically smarter, unlocking the value of unstructured data and enabling predictive capabilities to solve business problems in fundamentally new ways while requiring far less effort from users. The opportunity for value creation is more profound than even the shift from on-premise to Cloud.
Rapidly evolving enterprise infrastructure is accelerating hybrid cloud architecture and software development processes. A lack of sufficiently skilled workers for modernizing infrastructure and thwarting adversaries is threatening these changes and impacting how software is built, infrastructure is managed, and threats are mitigated.
Financial services have traditionally been delivered through massive brick and mortar networks with armies of workers and paper-intensive processes. Fintechs are removing middleman fees and opacity and enabling innovative new services. This increased efficiency and transparency yields radically new offerings at better prices.
The largest industry in the United States is being completely reconstructed as the twin tsunamis of incentives and information are brought to bear on an archaic system. Capitalism and information technology will create a dramatically more efficient healthcare system that provides better care.
Technology is changing the nature of national security, making the defense sector a more active early adopter of emerging technologies in AI, big data, cybersecurity, quantum computing and aerospace. The defense sector is also fueling a thriving space economy, which is revolutionizing critical services globally across communication, sensing, intelligence and connectivity.
Demand for robots and autonomy across retail, material handling, defense and other markets is a $120B+ market growing 20% annually. We look for the best and brightest roboticists who obsess over solving hard customer problems.
The size of the global, internet-connected audience allows technology products to influence consumer behavior and lives on an unprecedented scale. We partner with founders obsessed with product and user experience who aim to fundamentally improve how we do things as consumers.
Leveraging novel biology and advances in chemistry, we seek out the most revolutionary small molecule therapeutics and platforms that have the opportunity to create large shareholder value and save millions of lives.
Drawing on decades of experience funding many of the leaders in biotechnology, we continue to invest in proteins and antibodies, as well as new therapeutic modalities, that target diseases unattainable or poorly treated by small molecules.
Today, there are very interesting opportunities for novel, innovative device interventions to address complex diseases, as well as consumer appetites.
The industrialization of DNA sequencing over the last decade has created robust and cost efficient methods to diagnostics. The next decade will be even more fruitful, with novel technologies and content creating ever more powerful products to assist in the treatment of patients.
