Cencora Ventures LLC is the corporate venture capital program of Cencora Inc., launched in 2022 as AB Health Ventures under AmerisourceBergen. The program adopted the Cencora name after its parent renamed in August 2023. Its published USD150 million initial allocation is corporate investment capital, rather than a verified external LP fundraising close. It backs emerging healthcare companies and provides commercial support across pharmacy and distribution, product commercialization, clinical development and clinical practice, with an emphasis on early and middle stages in the United States and Western Europe. Its actual portfolio includes healthcare AI and clinical data companies Atropos Health, RISA Labs, Lumata Health and Acclinate, alongside House Rx and Sempre Health. Current live English team pages name Raj Kapadia and Neil Kayal; Cencora’s own leadership biography separately identifies François Mandeville as the executive leading Cencora Ventures LLC. Earlier roster versions named Jason Dinger, Jenni Zilka and an external Cerity Partners team; their fund assignments are explicitly time-qualified because the current page omits them. Parent investments made before the program launched are excluded from this unit’s portfolio attribution.
