With $340M crossover fund, Sofinno­va Part­ners piv­ots to late-stage biotech in­vest­ments while main­tain­ing Eu­ro­pean fo­cus

Af­ter years back­ing ear­ly-stage life sci­ence com­pa­nies, Sofinno­va Part­ners now has a crossover fund flush with $340.5 mil­lion (€275 mil­lion) to in­vest in both pub­lic and pri­vate play­ers.

The Paris-based ven­ture cap­i­tal firm is de­ploy­ing four part­ners to man­age the fund, dubbed Sofinno­va Crossover I, which will ded­i­cate 80% of its cap­i­tal to Eu­rope. The re­main­ing 20% is ear­marked pri­mar­i­ly for the US. All told, the in­vest­ments will be split be­tween around 15 late-stage com­pa­nies, with con­tri­bu­tions be­tween $18.6 mil­lion to $49.5 mil­lion (€15-€40 mil­lion).
