Our Investment Focus
we are flexible and can invest from seed to late stage. however, our focus lies on Series A and Series B investments, where
strong signs of product-market fit can be shown. we focus on consumer health with scientifically-backed products and solutions, and a strong engagement of the customer or patient. here, we invest into the best entrepreneurs while maintaining a strategic relevance for our parent company
we do not invest into biotech or medtech
at this time, we particularly love these topics:
mental health

proactive health
we have a broader consumer-driven focus on proactive health. this includes topics such as prevention & longevity, sleep, nutrition & supplements, bio-hacking, genomics, wearables, digital therapeutics, at-home diagnostics, remote care and many more. we are fascinated by the idea of reaching a state of optimal health
