Our Story

Benu BioPharma is a biopharmaceutical development management and consulting company. Benu BioPharma is focused on providing the essential functional expertise for drug development with the efficiency, nimbleness and speed that is critical to success for an entrepreneurial organization. The company is based in Natick, Massachusetts.

Benu is a unique venture model based on active partnership of experienced drug developers. Benu takes an asset-based approach where each new product-focused company becomes an individual investment. We believe that academic and biotechnology centers in Boston and southern New England are great engines for novel, product focused technologies around which we build our companies. Benu benefits from decades of experience utilizing the virtual company model and builds upon existing projects, both of which received funding in 2012.
