Overview

DCVC Bio is a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage deep tech startups in the life sciences. It is the life sciences-focused investment arm of the parent firm, DCVC (Data Collective). The firm's strategy is to invest in scientific breakthroughs and computation-enhanced platforms that can generate new arrays of treatments or products, rather than investing in specific drugs or molecules. Its focus areas include therapeutics platforms, companies improving agriculture and food systems, and industrial biotechnologies that unify data and leverage artificial intelligence and automation. DCVC Bio was co-founded in 2018 by DCVC founders Matt Ocko and Zachary Bogue, along with Dr. John Hamer and Dr. Kiersten Stead.
