About Us
Ventus is a well funded, Versant Ventures and GV (formerly Google Ventures)-backed biotech company with an initial focus directed toward innovative small molecule therapeutics targeting key innate immune pathways, and was recently named one of the 10 “Start-ups to Watch” for 2020 by Chemical and Engineering News. Ventus was founded by scientific thought leaders in structural immunology and innate immunity who discovered that innate immune signaling leads to the formation of multimeric complexes that drive the subsequent inflammatory cascade. Leveraging the expertise of our founders, Ventus has quickly become the leader in pursuing biochemical and structure-based drug discovery for highly sought-after targets of the innate immune system. Crucial to these efforts was the establishment of our proprietary physics-based ReSolve computational platform, our industry-leading approach for describing the solvation state of a protein in motion. Looking to the future, Ventus will be expanding our pipeline through application of our structural biology and computational platforms to the rational discovery of small molecule therapeutics beyond innate immunity.
