Invitro Capital

About

InVitro Capital is a venture studio that creates, builds, and exits companies in the AI and B2B space. With a primary focus on Healthcare and SaaS, Invitro has developed a unique recipe to de-risk startup innovation and help aspiring exceptional entrepreneurs identify and capitalize on promising opportunities.

At InVitro, we believe that the best startups are built by teams with deep domain expertise and a passion for solving real-world problems. That's why we invest in and partner with entrepreneurs who have a proven track record of success and a vision for the future.

We provide our portfolio companies with the operational muscles and support they need to succeed, including:

  • Seed funding.
  • Access to our network of mentors and advisors.
  • Expertise in tech, marketing, sales, and business development.
  • Help with go-to-market strategy.
  • We also have a unique approach to exits. Instead of waiting for a large tech company to come knocking, we actively work with our portfolio companies to develop and execute their own exit strategies. This allows us to maximize returns for our investors and give our entrepreneurs the freedom to pursue their next big idea

Our Values Founders First We put our founders & companies ahead of ourselves. When we have a decision to make we will act in the best interest of the Founders. Go Big or Fail Forward We aim high and do not compromise for less. We prefer ambitious projects with 100x return potential that have a risk of failure rather than 2-3x “certain return” projects. Commit & Deliver Results If you commit to a task or a project, deliver with high quality results. This value is about putting focus on “delivering results”. It’s not about checklist of tasks that you have to do, but doing your best to achieve the goals - often in a non-standard way. Data Beats Opinion Our decisions are driven by the numbers and data. When we have a decision to make we will look at the market data, benchmarks, and historical data to choose the right thing.
