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.
