Investment approach
- Thesis
- Rapid identification, funding and translating ideas into products that are useful to providing healthcare to people with a focus on orphan drugs and rare diseases. We prefer to take an active role in all of our investments as members of the executive management team and/or board members and advisors with access to key information covering both corporate and R&D. We prefer to be co-founders of our portfolio companies but that is not an important criteria for investment. For us, healthcare = pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, diagnostics and therapeutic foods.Source (opens in a new tab)
