We're a venture capital firm specializing in life sciences. Since our launch in 2001, we’ve supported more than 25 young companies. We invest in traditional healthcare opportunities as well as emerging areas — such as nutrition, wellness, and green technology — in which we’ve built one of the largest portfolios in the country.

Our firm was created by people with both investment know-how and direct experience in getting new ventures off the ground. We use this expertise to invest in what we know best: exceptional opportunities in their early stages. And then we take an active, ongoing role in helping entrepreneurs develop the right strategy, team, and connections to succeed.
