About UPMC Enterprises

We develop and invest in technology that is helping to solve some of the hardest and most complex problems in health care.

Our mission is to transform ideas into thriving businesses and Life Changing Medicine.

UPMC Enterprises is the innovation, commercialization, and venture capital arm of UPMC, a $28 billion health care provider and insurer based in Pittsburgh, PA. We tap the clinical acumen of thousands of UPMC physicians and rely on payer perspectives from the UPMC Health Plan with 4 million members.

These relationships and resources allow us to monitor emerging trends in health care and to identify, support, and commercialize scientific breakthroughs that translate into significant improvements in medical care and technology.

We utilize a flexible investment model, tailoring the size of an investment to the situation and are looking for opportunities that fall within our current strategic priorities. We partner with entrepreneurs and companies at all stages to make a significant impact on patient care.

Integration

When we invest in or form a company, the Enterprises team becomes an integral part of that company, offering far more than just financial capital. We foster beneficial relationships, making introductions across UPMC and across our portfolio, finding synergies and encouraging our companies to leverage each other’s strengths and collaborate when possible.
