Where we invest

Three sectors where we back founders from first check through clinical scale.

Clinician using digital health monitoring dashboard

Digital Health

We back early-stage teams building clinical-grade software — remote monitoring, care coordination, AI-assisted diagnostics, and chronic disease management. Typical check: $5–15M led at Series A. Portfolio includes companies that have reached more than 1 million patients.

Scientist working at laboratory bench with gene sequencing equipment

Biotech & Life Sciences

We invest at the earliest stage of the science — gene therapies, novel biologics, and computational drug discovery — and follow companies through clinical validation. Our partners evaluate the data themselves before making a commitment. Typical check: $5–20M led, with follow-on through Series B.

Medical device engineer testing wearable biosensor prototype

Medical Devices

We back founders building closed-loop systems, smart implants, and biosensor platforms — device companies that are increasingly also software companies. Our partner Marcus Elliot brings 18 years of FDA experience directly to each deal, reducing regulatory risk from day one. Typical check: $5–25M led.

How we work

A focused process, built around clinical rigor and founder partnership.

1

Source

We identify founders through clinical networks, research institutions, and accelerator partnerships. A significant share of our deal flow comes from MGH, Broad Institute, and MIT affiliates.

2

Diligence

Deep scientific and commercial due diligence with our clinical advisory board. We don't outsource the science to consultants — our partners run the evaluation personally.

3

Support

Active board membership, regulatory guidance, and strategic introductions. Our partners have collectively spent decades navigating the FDA, CMS reimbursement, and hospital procurement.

4

Scale

Follow-on capital and ecosystem access through Series B and beyond. We stay invested in the companies we believe in and help recruit the executive talent needed to scale from product to platform.
