For therapeutics technology, the firm is agnostic to indication and will invest as early as proof of concept stage, although some animal data is preferable. For digital health companies, the firm is fairly flexible with regards to stage of development and will consider most healthcare-related or IoT technologies (e.g. smart hospital applications).

For companies based in Taiwan, the firm prefers to lead investments and take a board seat, playing an active role after investment. For US-based companies, the firm will generally co-invest and may recommend a partner to the board.
