Sofinnova - это название, разделяемое двумя венчурными фирмами, Sofinnova Partners и Sofinnova Ventures. Название Sofinnova - это сокращение французского «Societé de Financement De L'Nshipation» или Innovation Venture Capital Company. Обе фирмы прослеживают свои корни обратно в Sofinnova SA, инвестиционного учреждения, основанного в Париже в 1972 году. С начала запуска две фирмы собрали ~ 4 млрд. Долл. США и, как правило, поделились аналогичной инвестиционной стратегией финансирования проектов и идей в науках о жизни и технологиях. Фирмы различают себя на основе своей целевой географии, этапа инвестиций и секторов. Они были независимыми организациями с 1997 года.
- Sofinnova Partners находится в Париже, Лондоне и Милане и фокусируется в первую очередь на европейских биотехнологиях, Medtech, Biopharma и Industrial Biotech Investments, с аналогичным распределением для США.
- У Sofinnova Ventures есть офисы в Менло -Парке, Калифорния, и Сан -Диего, Калифорния, и в основном фокусируется на инвестициях в биотехнологии США, а на ~ 20% распределение для Европы.
Sofinnova Partners and Sofinnova Ventures have historically shared some of the same Limited Partners, and have co-invested together in various life sciences companies including Flamel, Cerep, Genset, Actelion,[1] Preglem, Movetis, Ascendis, Obseva, Auris and Nucana. The firms have a collegial relationship and exchange information and due diligence. The firms do not have an obligation to disclose deals or to co-invest, but historically have co-invested together in ~10% of their collective investments.

1970s: The Founding of Sofinnova
[edit]- 1972 - Sofinnova was founded with the backing of several French financial institutions (most notably Crédit National) and was notable at the time for creating the first "American style" venture capital firm in France. Peter Brooke, the founder of TA Associates, was a board member of Sofinnova SA in its early years. Sofinnova SA quickly established a presence in the European market through the formation of Sofinnova Partners in Paris. Sofinnova SA owned this firm from 1972 until 1997.
- 1974 - Sofinnova became the first European venture company to enter the US market launching its US affiliate, Sofinnova, Inc (Sofinnova Ventures). Sofinnova co-founder, Jean Deleage, who would later co-found US venture firm Burr, Egan, Deleage & Co., was appointed the head of the US operation. Sofinnova's US business gained attention for its role as an early backer of Tandem Computers and Genentech in the early 1980s.
- 1976 - Sofinnova co-founder Jean Deleage established the American subsidiary of Sofinnova, called Sofinnova, Inc., in San Francisco, which eventually became Sofinnova Ventures. Deleage departed Sofinnova in 1979 to co-found another venture capital firm Burr, Egan, Deleage & Co. In 1981, working with Deleage, Sofinnova developed a partnership with Burr, Egan, Deleage & Co. and ultimately other US firms. Jean-Bernard Schmidt, who would later serve as Chairman of Sofinnova, was named the head of US operations of Sofinnova, Inc.

[edit]- 1985 - Sofinnova completed an initial public offering with a listing on the Paris Stock Exchange.
- 1987 - Alain Azan moved to San Francisco to take over management of Sofinnova Ventures, replacing Jean-Bernard Schmidt. Schmidt would be named Chairman of Sofinnova,[1] retaining that position through 2007. Sofinnova Ventures completed fundraising for SVP I, which was a private equity fund originally intended to invest in European companies expanding in the US. Ultimately, Sofinnova Venture Partners would shift its focus toward investments in domestic US companies.
- 1989 - Sofinnova Partners completed fundraising for Sofinnova Capital, its first private equity fund in France, with €38M of investor commitments. Sofinnova's investments in this fund include Genset Corporation as well as Cerep, Egide and Flamel.

[edit]- 1993 - Sofinnova delisted itself from the Paris exchange to raise capital privately through traditional private equity funds. Prior to the 1997 reorganization, Sofinnova Ventures raised three venture funds totaling $57M, and Sofinnova Partners raised funds with €85M in commitments.
- 1997 - The global Sofinnova organization restructured, formally creating two separate management companies, one for Sofinnova Ventures, and one for Sofinnova Partners. The reorganization was done on the basis of geography, creating Sofinnova Ventures in the US and Sofinnova Partners in Europe. Following a management buyout, each of the management companies was solely owned by its respective management teams.
2000s: The Move to Life Science for Sofinnova

В то же время, Sofinnova Partners в Париже перешел от сбалансированной венчурной фирмы IT/LS, к той, которая была преимущественно сосредоточена на науке о жизни.
- 2008 - Sofinnova Ventures сделал свои последние ИТ -инвестиции (Enovix). Остальная ИТ -команда была активна в течение нескольких лет после этого, чтобы контролировать и монетизировать окончательные инвестиции в ИТ.
