The Glendevon strategy will seek to generate long-term capital appreciation by leveraging an exceptional team to found and make venture capital investments in life science companies – including biotechnology, pharmaceutical, diagnostics and medical devices.
We do this by bridging academic research and Series A investment by:
- Establishing exclusive licensing of early-stage life science intellectual property, prioritizing probability-of-success as an investment philosophy.
- Targeting quality niche opportunities less attractive to larger funds due to scale.
- Defining realizable and affordable milestones to enable strong Series A fundraising potential.
- Supplying high-talent Management Service Team to enhance performance of Portfolio Companies and tailor leadership to early-stage company needs.
