We Invest in Technology
- Software and Cloud Services
- Security
- Healthcare IT
- AdTech
- Consumer
- Big Data
Software and Cloud Services
We see a decade’s worth of innovation ahead as more elements of enterprise infrastructure are defined by software and move to the cloud. We continue to look for emerging leaders in these areas.
Security
Cloud services, big data and mobile technologies are creating a vast new set of security problems to be solved. We have invested in many of the leading security companies over the past 20 years and continue to invest actively in pioneering startups in the field.
Healthcare IT
The largest industry in the United States is being completely reconstructed as the twin tsunamis of incentives and information are brought to bear on an archaic system. Capitalism and information technology will create a dramatically more efficient healthcare system that provides better care.
AdTech
We have invested in many of the leading AdTech companies over the past 20 years and are looking to support the next generation of disruptive innovators taking advantage of the revolutions in mobile, social, video and big data.
Consumer
The parallel revolutions in mobile, social, and broadband have created fertile ground for consumer startups, as digital technology permeates almost every sphere of daily life. We seek to support entrepreneurs with disruptive ideas that can help transform the way we live.
Big Data
Over 90% of the world’s data has been created in the past two years, and new data generation continues to grow at an exponential rate, creating unprecedented opportunities to disrupt existing industries and create new ones based on the insights this data provides. We are actively looking for the top entrepreneurs and biggest ideas in this area.

- Diagnostics & New Technologies
Therapeutics-Small Molecules
Leveraging novel biology and advances in chemistry, we seek out the most revolutionary small molecule therapeutics and platforms that have the opportunity to create large shareholder value and save millions of lives.
Therapeutics-Biologics
Drawing on decades of experience funding many of the leaders in biotechnology, we continue to invest in proteins and antibodies, as well as new therapeutic modalities, that target diseases unattainable or poorly treated by small molecules.
Medical Devices
Today, there are very interesting opportunities for novel, innovative device interventions to address complex diseases, as well as consumer appetites.
Diagnostics & New Technologies
The industrialization of DNA sequencing over the last decade has created robust and cost efficient methods to diagnose and monitor disease via molecular diagnostics. The next decade will be even more fruitful, with novel technologies and content creating ever more powerful products to assist in the treatment of patients.
