Stephen Bloch is a General Partner at Canaan Partners, where he has directed healthcare technology and life sciences investments for over 23 years since joining the firm in 2002. Before entering venture capital, he was a practicing physician and founder-CEO of Radiology Management Sciences, leveraging this dual expertise to invest in companies that make healthcare delivery more effective. His investment thesis spans seed to late-stage ventures across biopharma, digital health, medical devices, and diagnostics, primarily within the United States and the Northeast. Bloch has served as the lead partner on 32 deals, indicating a strong tendency to lead rather than follow in his investments. Notable portfolio companies include Liquidia Corporation, where he serves as board chairman; Advanced BioHealing, which he helped grow to a $750 million acquisition; Amicus Therapeutics; and Truveris. A distinctive point of view for Bloch is his mission to fund startups focused on improving healthcare delivery efficiency and advancing medical therapeutics, grounded in his firsthand experience with healthcare complexity.
