Forbion raises over €2 billion in new funding for life sciences investments


Are you preparing for your next funding round? Forbion, a leading European life sciences venture capital firm, has announced its largest fundraising to date, raising over €2 billion.

Forbion, a leading European life sciences venture capital firm, has just announced it has raised over €2 billion for two new funds: Forbion Growth Opportunities Fund III (€1.2 billion) and Forbion Ventures Fund VII (€890 million). With assets under management now at €5 billion, Forbion is well-positioned to increase both the number of investments and the average size of Forbion’s participation in future portfolio company financings, reflecting the opportunities it sees for superior returns in development-stage life sciences companies.

Investing in cutting edge science

The fundraising enables an increase of both the number of investments and the average size of Forbion’s participation in future portfolio company financings, reflecting the opportunities it sees for superior returns in development-stage life sciences companies. It is anticipated that the Forbion Growth Opportunities Fund III and Forbion Ventures Fund VII will each invest in approximately 15 portfolio companies.

Forbion’s latest fundraising builds on its successful track-record of generating consistently impactful returns based on an investment strategy focused on companies with strong fundamentals, anchored in unique science and deep due diligence, while its platform approach enables its funds to support biotechs through company building and company expansion. Forbion has 58 active investments, and has led or co-led 88% of the initial investment rounds of the 26 portfolio companies across Forbion Growth Opportunities Fund II and Forbion Ventures Fund VI.

Expertise and partnerships

Forbion’s team of over 30 investment professionals and drug development experts makes it one of the largest life sciences venture capital teams in Europe. Its portfolio companies also benefit from the deep industry expertise of Forbion’s 15 operating and venture partners, and its strategic collaborations with industry leading service providers. Forbion supports its portfolio companies from its headquarters in Naarden (The Netherlands), Munich and Boston (Massachusetts).
