GeneVentiv Therapeutics
Private Company
Total funding raised: $23.2M
Overview
GeneVentiv Therapeutics is a private, pre-clinical stage biotech founded in 2019, specializing in next-generation gene therapies for rare diseases. Its pipeline features two first-in-class candidates: GENV-HEM for hemophilia (including inhibitor patients) and GENV-002, a gene editing therapy for Pompe disease designed to offer lifelong enzyme production. The company is led by an experienced CEO and CSO and is supported by a world-class scientific advisory board with deep expertise in hemophilia and AAV gene therapy. GeneVentiv operates a capital-efficient, in-licensing and development business model and is currently pre-revenue.
Technology Platform

Competitive Landscape
In hemophilia, GeneVentiv faces competition from approved AAV gene therapies (e.g., BioMarin's Roctavian, CSL Behring's Hemgenix) and other pipeline candidates, necessitating a focus on durability and inhibitor patients. In Pompe, while gene therapy competition is earlier-stage, it must compete against established enzyme replacement therapy and other novel modalities in development.
