Venture Building & Investment
From a first idea to a company ready to scale, our programmes and community connect founders to coaching, capital and specialist facilities — and to each other.
Our Programmes
Find the Right One for You
Each programme is designed for a different stage of company growth, so you can choose the one that suits where you are today.
Investment
Looking to Raise?
We focus our investments across five key areas of the life sciences sector:
- Therapeutic Platforms
- Medical Technologies
- Enabling Tools & Services
We often like to be the first investor in a company, helping to build momentum from the outset. We regularly invest alongside others in follow-on rounds and can either lead an investment or support an existing syndicate. If you’re still refining your business proposition or working through some fundamental questions, that’s absolutely fine. We can discuss your plans and explore whether one of our programmes could help you take the next step.
If you’re further along and have a pitch deck ready, send it our way. We’ll review the opportunity and, if there’s a potential fit, arrange a meeting to learn more about your business, team and ambitions.
