5AM dash­es out of the gate, kick­ing off Q2 with $750M in two new funds

5AM Ven­tures is back — rais­ing a be­he­moth of $750 mil­lion in two new funds to do what VCs do best.

The life sci­ences and biotech-fo­cused VC an­nounced the raise ear­li­er this week, clos­ing two funds worth $450 mil­lion and $300 mil­lion, re­spec­tive­ly. Man­ag­ing part­ner An­drew Schwab told End­points News that the two funds will be fo­cused on dif­fer­ent stage com­pa­nies: the big­ger one, known as 5AM Ven­tures VII, will in­vest in any­where from 15-18 ear­ly-stage biotechs, in­clud­ing com­pa­nies formed out of its in­ter­nal in­cu­ba­tion en­gine, 4:59.
