Neurodegenerative diseases are one of the main health challenges of humankind
We all want to live longer with sound minds and strong bodies. In order to do this we must tackle the challenge of chronic diseases that destroy the neurons controlling our minds, muscles, and other areas of the body. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS all result from this fundamental problem of dying neurons.
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
We invest in biotech companies with balanced teams applying cutting edge technologies. We look for companies with either platform approaches relevant to multiple diseases, and/or with multiple drugs already in clinical development. The companies in our portfolio have already proven the basic science behind their approaches and are working towards a value inflection point.
