Hot Investor Mandate: Venture Arm of Investment Bank Seek Therapeutics and Medtech Companies in CNS, Oncology, and More, Focusing on US Based Opportunities

29 Jul

An investment bank headquartered in the US  does not act as a traditional investment bank, as the firm participates in venture capital, investing in and working with early-stage technology and life science companies with the main goal of taking the companies to public markets. The firm has also spun out and out-licensed technologies from universities and has capabilities to help with company formation, business strategy, IP, and early IPOs. The firm utilizes a sister company to further analyze company technologies and IPs. The firm can fund from $5-12M USD from Seed to Series A rounds with preference in US-based companies, though the firm is open to global companies. 
 
The firm is looking at biotech, medical devices, and diagnostics companies and is technology-agnostic. The firm generally does not look at digital health. There has been strong interest in immuno-oncology, neurology, and CNS. 
 

The firm works closely with companies and founders and will lead investment rounds. The firm typically requires taking a board or observer seat while deciding strategy, and once the company goes public, the firm will bring in a board member with expertise in the field.
