Investments

We’re immensely proud of our portfolio. We partner with companies, often in the early stage, to build strong management teams and to ensure our CEOs and entrepreneurs have access to our network and resources to accelerate the advancement of their assets.

Brandon BioCatalyst plays an active, ‘hands on’ role, working closely with the Member Institutes to identify promising opportunities, ‘working them up’, completing due diligence and in many cases, assisting with the establishment of the start-up company. Importantly, we then guide early-stage investments through the development process to next round financing, a trade-sale, partnering, an IPO or into stand-alone, growing businesses. Brandon BioCatalyst invests in opportunities originating from its member medical research institutes or research hospitals. Each Member Institute selects a representative for Brandon BioCatalyst’s Investment Review Committee (IRC), the body which provides a peer review assessment of investment proposals.

To date, Brandon BioCatalyst has supported more than 50 promising start-up companies, with more than 85 percent of them founded by the first investment from Brandon BioCatalyst .
