About
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.
