Fresenius Medical Care Ventures

Fresenius Medical Care Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Fresenius Medical Care that invests in early-stage healthcare startups focused on kidney care and renal technologies, operating out of Waltham, Massachusetts, and Bad Homburg, Germany. The firm leverages the extensive global infrastructure of its parent organization, which employs over 120,000 people, operates approximately 4,100 dialysis clinics across more than 65 countries, and treats around 345,000 patients annually. Backed entirely by its parent company, the venture division targets strategic growth opportunities in chronic kidney disease management and related health tech sectors. The fund operates under the broader corporate leadership of executives like former CEO Rice Powell, while supporting a network of healthcare innovators. The parent organization, tracing its historical roots back to pharmacist Dr. Eduard Fresenius in 1912, was officially established in 1996.
