Hot Investor Mandate: China-Based VC Fund Invests Broadly Across All Life Science Companies, Generally Investing Earlier in Therapeutics and Later in Devices

One of the earliest venture capital funds active in Greater China is the proprietary venture capital and private equity arm of a world’s leading asset management organization with operations around the globe. Since inception, the firm has developed a broad footprint across Asia, with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Delhi, Mumbai and Tokyo. The firm specializes in green-field, early and growth stage investments.

Within life sciences, the firm works on a wide range of technology sectors including therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics, biotech R&D services, healthcare IT, and healthcare services. The firm is very opportunistic in terms of subsectors and indications but historically has been active in biosimilars and biotech R&D. The firm evaluates technologies based on two main criteria: meaningful impact on human health; bold and innovative ideas. The firm has no specific preference in the investment stage. However, the firm generally invests in earlier stage for therapeutics and R&D and later stage for medical devices, but seeds have been done with exceptional founding teams.

The firm is seeking companies with a strong and experienced management team. The firm is flexible when it comes to post-investment board representation.
