Third Rock Ventures

Company Creation Strategy.

Patients are our number one priority.

At Third Rock, we push the boundaries of science and technology to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families. When we founded the firm in 2007, our imaginations were on fire with the possibility of translating scientific discoveries to breakthrough medicines. Could we finally find cures for cancer? Would we be able to diagnose diseases before they even appear? How far could we go in restoring hope and quality of life to patients with incurable conditions? We dared to believe that nothing was impossible. To achieve what hadn’t been done before, we created a process that hadn’t been done before. By starting with big ideas and fostering collaboration among brilliant people with expertise in science, medicine, business and strategy, we set out to do more than fund startups – we aim to build sustainable, innovative companies that can transform the lives of patients.

Bold Ideas. Big Impact for Patients.

We build our companies on a solid foundation, instilling core values and a commitment to a great culture. Our companies are based on bold ideas that meet at the intersection of science, business, medicine, and strategy - where transformational science meets operational rigor - providing the best opportunity to make a dramatic difference in patients' lives.
