ABOUT US

Approach

We are a life sciences Venture Capital fund that helps transform scientific innovation into products that positively impact people’s lives. Our extensive network and expertise in the sector allow us to contribute more than just capital. We aim at being part of the DNA of the new ventures that we back.

Criteria

We invest in private companies with differentiated technology addressing unmet needs. We look for innovative and transformational technologies with high societal and/or environmental impact potential, in line with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
We focus on therapeutics, diagnostics supporting medical therapies, and sustainable agriculture.

Sourcing

We have a preferred relationship with the Belgium-based VIB, one of the world’s premier life science research institutes. Part of the companies we back are built on VIB-derived innovations.
We additionally source deals coming from any research institute, entrepreneurial initiative, or spin-outs from mature companies, with a geographical focus on Europe.

Part of the Funds of V-Bio Ventures are supported by InnovFin Equity, with the financial backing of the European Union under Horizon 2020 Financial Instruments and the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) set up under the Investment Plan for Europe.
