Based on the most helpful WSO content, some top-tier early-stage biotech venture capital firms that are known for leading Series A deals and might be interested in first-in-class early stage oncology assets include:

  • Atlas Venture
  • Third Rock
  • 5AM Ventures
  • Flagship Pioneering
  • Orbimed
  • Versant Ventures
  • ARCH Venture Partners

These firms are akin to the MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) or bulge bracket banks of the biotech VC world, often leading the pack in terms of investment in innovative and groundbreaking biotech startups. They are known for their deep scientific expertise and may be more inclined to invest in cutting-edge oncology research rather than more conservative medtech ventures.
