The Column Group Raises a $725 Million Fourth Fund

The Column Group (TCG), a biotech venture capital firm focused on building innovative drug discovery companies, announced the closing of The Column Group IV (TCG IV) and its related investment vehicles totaling $725 million. With TCG IV, the firm will continue to execute on the strategy it has deployed since inception – assembling a focused portfolio of “big idea” companies, each built from the ground up with platforms capable of generating multiple differentiated product opportunities. To date, TCG has raised $2.2 billion. “We are grateful for the strong support for our model and are pleased by the significant interest generated from our existing investors, with room for a handful of new investors,” said Peter Svennilson, Founder and Managing Partner of The Column Group. “Since 2007, TCG has been dedicated to early stage drug discovery investing as a compelling path to value creation driven by the advancement of new, highly effective human therapies that can change the world. We believe that focus is critical and we will continue to deploy a hands-on approach to building a small cohort of high quality, science-driven companies for our fourth fund.”
