15 Oct

A strategic corporate venture capital fund established by a full-fledged pharmaceutical company seeks to make equity investments in startup companies that discover and develop innovative therapeutic products and/or drug-enabling platform technologies with clear potential to benefit cancer patients. Investment size is flexible depending on the deal, and the firm will also consider option-type investments and spin-outs in addition to pure equity investments. The firm is currently seeking focusing on opportunities in USA and Europe. 

The firm considers early-stage (generally research to pre-IND) first-in-class or new biology-based approaches in drug discovery and innovative platform technologies, particularly assets that have a strategic fit with the parent company’s pipeline. The firm invests across a wide range of modalities, including biologics, oncolytic viruses, small molecules, and, on an opportunistic basis, cell and gene therapies. The firm’s primary indication of interest is oncology, but it also evaluates opportunities in immunology, allergy, musculoskeletal, and orphan indications. 

While the firm is primarily focused on therapeutics, it may selectively review technologies in the medical device, diagnostic, or digital health sectors if there is strong strategic alignment.
