Investment Team
We are led by a cohesive team of three investment partners who bring diverse and complementary skillsets yet share a common background, working approach, and values. Our founders are two former McKinsey partners who have been investing together in healthcare venture capital since 2014.
We have a One Team culture and operating model.
Each partner shares responsibility for the success of every investment decision and portfolio company’s performance. Our values are collaboration, objectivity, entrepreneurship, and integrity.
