Manatt Venture Fund

Manatt Venture Fund is the corporate venture investment arm associated with Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, a U.S. law firm. The fund makes early-stage investments across multiple sectors, including healthcare, technology, media, and related services, rather than operating as a drug-development or therapeutic-product company. Available sources describe it as an active investor founded around 2000, with more than 90 portfolio investments over time. For biotech analysts, the key point is that this entity is a venture investor with some healthcare exposure, not a life sciences operating company with an internal therapeutic pipeline.
