Roivant aims to improve health by rapidly delivering innovative medicines and technologies to patients. We do this by building Vants – nimble, entrepreneurial biotech and healthcare technology companies with a unique approach to sourcing talent, aligning incentives, and deploying technology. The therapies in development across our family of companies target a wide range of diseases including uterine fibroids, endometriosis, prostate cancer, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and multiple rare and fatal pediatric conditions. We focus on disease areas where the magnitude of R&D investment from industry is disproportionately low relative to societal medical needs. In addition to our biopharmaceutical subsidiaries, we also build technology-focused Vants focused on improving the process of developing and commercializing medicines.

The biggest waste in manufacturing today is not on the shop floor. It's in the meetings, emails, and data transfer that overwhelm knowledge processes (eg quality assurance, vendor management, engineering, R&D, and sales). That's because traditional enterprise tools split collaboration and processes into disparate systems, resulting in up to 85% of time and effort being wasted. Unifize solves this problem by bringing collaboration and process into one place. By creating a conversation for every process record, Unifize measurably reduces waste in knowledge processes by up to 95%.
