About

82VS is our affiliated venture studio that pairs Alloy’s platforms and services with a team of company creation experts to efficiently launch new asset-centric companies. Alloy works with exceptional founders, entrepreneurs- and executives-in-residence, and biotech and pharma partners to develop new medicines by efficiently leveraging the capabilities of the Alloy ecosystem at large.

The 82VS name comes from the atomic number for lead, 82. To us, lead represents the most boring of metals that can form alloys, frequently used in low-cost solder to bring other metals together. This is because we seek to be behind the scenes and to fade into the background as we let our entrepreneurs and their companies take the credit for their great work.

We Partner

We partner with academics, entrepreneurs, target-rich companies, pharma, and VC. We lead with our drug discovery work, helping others advance targets of interest.

We Build

We build asset-focused companies while continuing to incorporate new modalities and drug discovery platforms accessible throughout the Alloy ecosystem. Alloy creates new platforms and services on demand to support individual new companies if needed.

We Industrialize

We industrialize repeatable company launch processes across legal, HR, finance, operations, and marketing to minimize startup time and allow scientists to focus on the science.

Our People

We come from pharma, biotech, academia, and venture capital backgrounds. Our EIRs can pursue their scientific ideas with full operational support and can repeatedly harness the 82VS infrastructure to create more value.

We launch new companies and support strategic investments

Collectively the companies supported out of 82VS are pursuing next generation innovative treatments for cancer, neurodegeneration, autoimmune disease, hereditary blindness, and more. Our investments in next-generation manufacturing companies help our ecosystem of partners advance more quickly to the clinic.

We create, in-license, and co-develop pre-competitive enabling technology platforms that help the entire drug discovery community move faster.

We value the work of inventors, ensuring your work lands with maximum impact. There is nothing more frustrating to a scientist or engineer than to see their life’s work trapped inside one company and only able to be accessed and improved by a single team. Alloy’s mission is to unlock the potential of pre-competitive technologies by taking a very long view of investing in platform development and helping our partners and venture studios utilize these technologies as aggressively as possible. Generally, platform technology continues to be improved over time and with greater use and engagement from the ecosystem. It’s exciting to think that the technologies we invent today will be supported, improved and available to our ecosystem today and long into the future. Alloy reinvests 100% of our revenue back into innovation and access to innovation while sharing the value with the innovators themselves.

SCI Ventures

SCI Ventures is a novel, evergreen fund created to catalyze innovative cures for paralysis. Backed by the leading foundations for spinal cord injury in the US and Europe, and advised by world-class neuroscientists, we invest in early-stage companies developing cure-oriented therapies for spinal cord injury and other related markets. We invest globally in companies with the greatest potential to impact our mission, typically at the Seed and Series A stages. We follow a venture philanthropy model, inspired by successful initiatives in other disease areas, to catalyze an investment market aimed at reversing paralysis. We focus on investing in companies advancing cures for paralysis-related challenges, prioritizing both long-term neural pathway restoration and immediate clinical impact. Our investments are guided by community priorities and scientific rigor, leveraging our team's expertise and the support of research foundations. A new wave of innovation For the first time, the combination of breakthroughs in biology, engineering and computing make a cure to paralysis a real possibility. An evergreen fund that redeploys 100% of its returns Venture philanthropy has been adopted by a number of disease- focused organisations, including JDRF’s T1D Fund and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, to deploy their own capital to produce a tangible impact and to attract the traditional life-science venture capital industry to their cause. SCI Ventures is making investments with the intent of generating a financial return. All returns will be recycled and reinvested within the fund to take more targeted shots at the goal of curing paralysis. All initial operating costs of SCI Ventures are being met by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, allowing all donated capital to be invested in cutting-edge, early-stage companies. Investment strategy Catalyzing an investment market to address spinal cord repair. Recent advances in science and technology have made recovery from paralysis a real possibility. We target near-term functional improvement, while also backing the ultimate goal of biological repair of the spinal cord. Our strategy is guided by the priorities of those living with a spinal cord injury. We focus on curative therapies for motor and sensory deficits and leave the important work of care and adaptation to others. SCI Ventures is uniquely positioned to de-risk assets for a broad range of adjacent neurological conditions. We invest in technologies targeted at SCI. There are many similarities between SCI and other conditions including stroke, neurodegenerative diseases or neural circuit disorders such as epilepsy or pain. The technologies we back have the potential to yield high impact beyond the SCI community. We use strict criteria to assess a company’s investment impact, focusing on prospective financial return. We aim to make an impact, by identifying the most innovative technologies and supporting at an early stage the most entrepreneurial management teams, regardless of where they are in the world. We assess each company for its scientific maturity and potential for clinical impact.
