Sonnerie VC is a New York-based pre-seed and seed venture capital firm investing in university spinouts across healthcare, life sciences, therapeutics, and medical devices. We provide the first institutional capital and take board and advisory roles to help founders build.

Signal
in the noise.

The science that defines the next decade is already alive in a lab somewhere, quiet, unfunded, easy to miss. We hear it first.

Premise

Breakthroughs don’t announce themselves. They surface as noise.

A result that holds. A patent no one has read. A clinician’s hunch. We are built to tell the signal from the noise, and to back it before it’s obvious.

What we listen for

Science with a clinical destination.

Therapeutics

New modalities from academic discovery.

Medical devices

Intervention founded on clinical insight.

Life sciences & diagnostics

Making the invisible measurable.

Regulated health tech

Where compliance is the moat.

The first believers, before the signal is obvious to anyone else.

The large funds arrive once the science is de-risked and the round is loud. We arrive while it’s still a rumour inside the university.

Method

Three moves.

01

Listen

We source at the boundary of the lab, labs, tech transfer offices, clinicians, before the science is shopped.

02

Back

We write the first institutional check, on conviction, at the moment most capital won’t.

03

Build

We take a board or advisory seat and help carry a finding to a fundable company.

The Signal

Less noise. More signal.

Occasional notes on the earliest moments in healthcare, and the founders building through them.
