Antisoma Venture Capital Fund

We are a European family office owned fund; we understand biosciences and medical technologies better than anyone else in the Private Equity and Venture Capital ecosystem. The capital of this fund has been generated by the family office's active bioscience investments across Europe, USA, and the APAC region since 1995. We understand the intricacies of commercializing bioscience discoveries. We also acknowledge that bioscience venture leadership requires deep courage - from founders and the investors that back them. What we look for We operate globally and only review investment opportunities submitted to us by our partner investment banks across the globe. If we believe in the transformative power of the discovery and the founder's ambition, this will suffice for us to determine the venture's potential. Our approach Upon receipt of a proposal from our investment bank partners, we will analyze the proposed deal, meet with the venture founders, and understand their vision. We will propose a deal size and structure. Execute a letter of intent and perform appropriate due diligence, negotiate, and execute a mutually acceptable binding contract. Release the required funding, close the transaction and work together to grow the business.

82VS

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.
