Atheneos Ventures is a San Francisco Bay Area based healthcare focused evergreen incubator fund dedicated to identifying and nurturing high quality, high risk (and potentially) game changing healthcare companies previously in the large indications area and going forward focusing on orphan drugs and rare diseases space.

How we plan to execute this goal?Rapid identification, funding and translating ideas into products useful to providing healthcare to people through investorpreneurship, where possible.
What is investorpreneurship?Start companies with an initial investment from entrepreneur-managed funds and angels (and later attract large institutional private equity investments usually a single financing round to exit) to develop high quality potentially game-changing early stage projects and nurture them to exit.
Investment PhilosophyRapid identification, funding and translating ideas into products that are useful to providing healthcare to people with a focus on orphan drugs and rare diseases. We prefer to take an active role in all of our investments as members of the executive management team and/or board members and advisors with access to key information covering both corporate and R&D. We prefer to be co-founders of our portfolio companies but that is not an important criteria for investment. For us, healthcare = pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, diagnostics and therapeutic foods.
