Public description
About the program
CVS Health Ventures is the corporate venture arm formed by consolidating CVS Health's and Aetna's investment activity, backing digital health and consumer health companies with capital and access to CVS retail, pharmacy, Aetna insurance and Oak Street Health assets. It emphasizes commercial partnership alongside investment rather than running startup cohorts. CVS has separately run one-off innovation challenges and pilot programs.
