Last chance: invest in the world’s first global seed-stage HealthTech micro-VC fund for Asia and the new normal

“We are the world’s first seed-only healthtech VC fund that is investing globally in solutions relevant to expanding access, quality, and efficiency in emerging Asia. These same solutions are critical to forming the new normal we all face.

They take time and many entrepreneurs struggle to raise that crucial first investment – this is where we come in.

Founded by ex-angel investors and industry insiders, we have invested in nine startups to date, spanning early Alzheimer’s detection, lung disease, hearing loss, continuous care, rural health delivery, and mental health. Five follow-on rounds, four revenue-positive, and seven directly relevant to COVID-19.”

Dr Joseph Mocanu, Managing Partner
