At present, we are not investing in drug development or traditional medical devices.
What Sets us Apart
McKesson Ventures is focused on the long-term strategic needs of the industry and the McKesson ecosystem – not the tactical needs of specific McKesson business units. We are a valuable partner to our portfolio companies, serving as a conduit to the many strengths, relationships and industry breadth of McKesson. We understand health care and we recognize the importance of responding and acting at a pace calibrated with early stage innovators. Lastly our team’s financial incentives are aligned with entrepreneurs and our investor syndicate partners.
Commitment
We are committed to improving the many facets of patient experience and to enabling clinicians and health systems to improve and maintain their patients’ health and well-being.
Network
When you do something for more than 180 years, you get to know people and the industry. We help our portfolio companies access McKesson and its deep relationships with key stakeholders across the entire spectrum of health care, including payers, providers, pharmacies, manufacturers and health systems.
Scale
We are part of McKesson, ranked 11th on the Fortune 500, but we operate independently with a small, nimble team to help accelerate your company’s growth.
Experienced and Aspirational
INNOVATORS WANTED
