Broad Strategic Approach
Biopharma companies in need of capital come with many different profiles. Some are startups seeking to discover new drugs based on emerging insights into underlying mechanisms of disease. Others may have begun that way, but now have drugs in clinical trials. Many are still privately held, while others are publicly traded. Some may even be established pharmaceutical companies looking for creative ways to fund expensive clinical trials.
Our strategies, described below, are designed to help companies in all these categories pursue their goal of developing novel and effective therapies for patients.

The diverse strategies we pursue, investing in companies and programs at many different stages of development and in multiple therapeutic areas, provide us with an unusually broad perspective on the key requirements for success in biotechnology.
Seed & Early Stage
With over 30 years of experience investing in novel life science technologies, we understand how challenging it can be to turn a great idea into a great company.
