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.

People Ventures

We help entrepreneurs succeed. It has been our mission from day one. We challenge existing paradigms of how things are done in the normal VC world. Our experience of actually being in the thick of the action day in, day out with Founders and their companies, actively pushing them towards their end game - wherever it might be - has taught us it pays off. To be active. To be present. To be hands on. To apply everything we know in every interaction, every task. Whatever it takes. We believe in People. Great people. They have been the center of attention since we started investing intensively in 2018. We invest in people in everything we do: in problems affecting potentially millions of people on a global scale, in deeply committed and talented founder teams, and in the strength, experience and know-how of our team and its ability to help our founders and portfolio companies succeed on their journeys. It’s all about People We partner with the most talented entrepreneurs – bringing to the table industry know-how, relentless dedication and money to move startups fast forward. What we look for We back start-ups and founder teams when we’re sure that our operational skillset, experience, and network will bring an original vision to life. From pre-seed to venture to expansive growth with best-in-class founders at every stage of the journey. While we like to keep an open mind, and only invest in companies that improve people and businesses’ everyday lives, we don’t want to invest our time (or money) in companies working within industries or sectors, which we consider bad for people. Our industry focus may change from time to time depending on emerging macro-economic, socio-economic, and technological trends. But based on a combination of our experiences, current capabilities, and interesting megatrends we see in the market, we focus our investments within technology-driven companies and with a soft focus on Digital health and SaaS products. What do you invest in? We invest in people in everything that we do: In real life challenges affecting potentially millions of people and businesses on a global scale and in deeply committed and talented founder teams of people uniquely qualified and motivated to grasp the problem and build tomorrows most powerful solutions. Tech companies, with software driven business-models. At our core we remain agnostic of what industries, we could potentially make investments in. Having said that there will be industries, where we will not be investing. While we like to keep an open mind, we also see the value in focusing our attention on a few, more specific industries. We are currently focused on digital health and enterprise software (B2B SaaS).
