Aditum Bio

Aditum Bio brings together unmatched scientific and domain expertise with agile operational capabilities. Our unique investment and operating model enables rapid company formation, planning, and execution to advance novel drug candidates into the clinic and speed their delivery to the patients in need. PROVEN INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP AND SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE Launched by former Novartis CEO, Joe Jimenez, and former President of the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, Dr. Mark Fishman, the experience of our founding executive team provides Aditum Bio with a unique lens for identifying and selecting innovative drug candidates with unrecognized potential. BETTER OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS. FASTER RETURNS FOR INVESTORS. By singularly focusing on the translation phase of drug development, Aditum Bio efficiently identifies and develops potentially first- and best-in-class therapies for a broad array of diseases – empowering our ability to reach more patients and creating faster return for its capital investments. OUR VALUES: ROOTED IN SCIENCE, INSPIRED BY PATIENTS Aditum Bio is a new breed of biotech investment firm that is driven to translate science into the new medicines that make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients. We are a dedicated and ambitious team that is tightly aligned by a set of core values that underscore the important work we do. WE ARE PATIENT CENTRIC We have a passion to help patients, and this drives our decision making. We believe that our role is to develop therapies for patients with disorders currently neglected but which are scientifically tractable. WE ARE COLLABORATIVE We believe that we can accomplish more as a team than we can as individuals. We are respectful of each other and listen to understand. We enjoy fierce debate among ourselves to get to the right decision, but in a way that is respectful and appreciative. We pick our colleagues up when they are down. WE ARE CURIOUS We are a collection of people with high learning agility, and believe that no matter what age, we all have much to learn. We change our opinion without hesitation or embarrassment when new facts arise. We seek out the best experts in the world as advisors. WE ARE COURAGEOUS We define the single most important question to a new therapy’s success, then have the courage to answer it. We have a high emotional need to take on challenges and deliver results. We believe it is better to act on 80% of an answer than wait for the remaining 20%. We have the courage to stand up for our beliefs, but the humbleness to consider other viewpoints. FULLFILLING THE PROMISE OF SCIENCE Genetic, genomic and artificial intelligence have led to the discovery of new drug targets and therapeutic modalities; however, many drug candidates fail to be developed due to strategic decisions and high clinical trial expense. Aditum Bio stands apart in the biotech venture capital arena through our differentiated approach for identifying promising, clinic-ready therapies that offer value for underserved patient populations, in areas such as obesity, depression, substance abuse, renal disease, and infectious diseases. ACCELERATING BIOTECH COMPANY FORMATION Harnessing our experienced in-house R&D domain experts as the foundation of our agile operating model, Aditum Bio is able to accelerate the formation and ramp-up of its portfolio companies. We augment each company's newly-established, dedicated leadership team with medical and scientific experts. Operating under the Aditum Bio umbrella in a lean and efficient management structure, portfolio companies are empowered to rapidly progress newly-acquired drug candidates into Phase 2 clinical trials. LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY FOR EFFICIENT TRIAL EXECUTION Aditum Bio’s strategic advantage extends to its proven acumen for using an array of powerful technologies and digital tools throughout its portfolio companies to support clinical trial execution at the highest level of efficiency. Through our in-house technology capabilities and our extensive partnerships with leading solutions providers, we enable therapies to advance more quickly and at lower cost than in traditional R&D models.

Navigare Ventures

Navigare Ventures is an early-stage investor specialized in science-driven companies. Through our investments, we strengthen the industrial and societal impact of research, as well as the long-term financial capacity of our owners, Wallenberg Investments AB. Our core investment themes within deep tech are underpinned by our knowledge and network in a number of scientific fields and industries. These include advanced computing and quantum technologies, synthetic biology and bio innovation, advanced materials and nano technology as well as data-driven life science. We are long term investors - Seed and Series A and beyond - and form deep and lasting partnerships with founders and entrepreneurs. Our extensive industrial and scientific networks gives us the opportunity to provide capital, network, and know-how to transform promising science start-ups into successful companies. Who we are Navigare Ventures, based in Stockholm, is a fully owned subsidiary of Wallenberg Investments AB. We are a team of scientists, industrialists and entrepreneurs who understand the challenges of turning cutting-edge technologies to successful ventures. As part of the Wallenberg ecosystem, our returns fuel the next generation of scientific advancement through research funding from the Wallenberg Foundations to Swedish universities. What we are looking for We partner with experienced entrepreneurial teams that combine scientific excellence with strong business acumen. In this respect, your company should have a unique offering based on a profound understanding of your scientific or technological field and its market and industrial environment. You should also be capable of demonstrating the viability and commercial potential of your product by engaging with real customers. You are raising capital to scale the R&D, production, marketing, and sales capabilities of your company. Our investment philosophy We only invest in companies we understand. While this is an important general principle in any investment activity, it is even more important when making early-stage investments in new technology. If we don’t understand your science, we won’t understand what experts tell us about the value chain and how it works, or what the competitive landscape looks like. And most importantly, we won’t be able to help you develop your strategy and navigate through the challenges of deep-tech start-ups. So, when preparing a meeting with us, don’t put too much emphasis on future revenue projections. That’s important too, in due time. But first, be prepared for long sessions in front of a whiteboard, explaining to us how your material, algorithm, or antibody functions. We don’t need to understand all the equations, but we need to get the heuristics. We are scientists at heart, eager to learn, and we carry a deep conviction that the world is fundamentally understandable. Core investment themesAdvanced computing and quantum technologies: Digitization and automation deepens in industry and society, driven by breakthroughs in computing and AI. Our focus includes improving existing technologies as well as finding completely new platforms in AI and other areas of applied mathematics as well as in novel computer architectures, communication technology, hardware and design. Synthetic biology and bio innovation: Synthetic biology and bio innovations contribute to a more sustainable society. Companies in this field often combine principles of biology, engineering, and computer science for the development of new biological products and manufacturing methods. Advanced materials and nano technology: New materials and nanoscale technology enable disruptions with the potential to benefit numerous existing industries. From quantum materials to biomaterials and biologically inspired nanostructures, we look for the most promising technology platforms in the field. Data-driven life science: Combining digital technology and data with life science drives scientific understanding and enables novel products. Our focus is on data-driven methods to increase personalization and precision of medical interventions, accelerate product development, digitalize care among other advancements.
