Hot Investor Mandate: VC Firm Invests in Seed to Series B Life Science Technologies Addressing Underserved Populations and Geographies in the US

25 Apr

A venture capital firm based in Seattle, Washington is looking to make another 10 investments with its current fund. The fund primarily invests in Series A, but is open to Seed and Series B. The typical check size is between $250K – $2M, dependent on the stage of investment. The firm identifies themselves as very involved investors and will not invest until they see a clear path through which they can add value to the company. The firm has a strong diversity lens and looks for diverse teams including women and individuals of different backgrounds. The firm invests in USA based companies. 

 
The firm will invest in therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices, and digital health. The fund is particularly interested in companies targeting health related issues impacting underserved populations and geographies, such as diabetes, cancer, femtech, and cardiovascular health. The fund looks for therapeutics companies to be within 6 months of submission for phase 1 trials. The fund will look at medical device companies within 6 months of 510(k) approval. The fund also requires that there is an MVP and customer attraction but does not require there to be revenue. Similarly with diagnostics, the firm requires an MVP but does not require revenue. The fund does require digital health companies to have revenue. 
 
The firm prefers to work with management teams with prior experience with startups or within the industry, but is not a firm requirement. The firm will lead or co-invest. The firm requires a board seat when leading rounds.
