What we fund in Europe
Spin-outs past the reproducibility threshold, with clean IP assignment from the originating institution.
MedTech navigating EU MDR with a parallel FDA plan, and diagnostics with NHS or statutory-payer traction.
Where we help most
Moving cost base to Indian and Southeast Asian manufacturing without losing regulatory standing, and structuring Series B rounds that do not require a US relocation.
