## Summary

Venrock, a portmanteau of Venture and Rockefeller, was formed in 1969 to build on the Rockefeller family's venture investing and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California (Wikipedia). It invests in early-stage technology and healthcare companies, including biotechnology and healthcare IT, and has a long record of oncology investments. Every page fetched on venrock.com (home, portfolio, companies) returned only 'You need to enable JavaScript to run this app', so the firm's own description of its strategy and its named oncology portfolio companies could not be confirmed from a primary source.
