North of a bil­lion biotech VC dol­lars to come from C-Bridge, Roth­schild as glob­al bio­phar­ma cap­i­tal flows

Two pow­er­house pri­vate eq­ui­ty firms, based out of Eu­rope and Chi­na re­spec­tive­ly, are look­ing at mul­ti-mil­lion funds to fu­el their glob­al bio­phar­ma pur­suits.

France’s Ed­mond de Roth­schild In­vest­ment Part­ners has raised $430 mil­lion (€345 mil­lion) for BioDis­cov­ery 5 — 80% larg­er than the fourth life sci­ences fund it closed in 2012. Mean­while, six months af­ter clos­ing a $400 mil­lion bio­phar­ma fund, PEI re­ports that Chi­nese pri­vate eq­ui­ty play­er C-Bridge Cap­i­tal is rais­ing a $650 mil­lion third fund.
