How this list is built

So you can judge whether it is trustworthy.

Every investor here has at least 2 portfolio companies tagged biotech. Membership is derived from the portfolio itself, so a fund appears because of the companies it backed rather than because its website lists biotech as a focus area.

Ranking is by number of biotech companies, then by total investment count. Counts move as new rounds are recorded, and a fund can appear in several sectors at once — most generalists do.

Biotech companies

The companies these funds have backed are listed on the biotech companies page, ranked by how many investors are on record for each.
