About

History

Catalyst Health Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm targeting technology solutions applied within the health care and life science industries. At the core of this strategy is a committed, hands-on approach to working with management and syndicate partners to build successful companies. Our disciplined investment process leverages both intellectual and financial capital to originate deals, cultivate opportunities, and realize the full potential of emerging ventures in the health care and life science marketplace.

As an early-stage investor, we make investments before many others in our business, when our expertise allows us to identify value and build syndicates to support the start-ups in which we invest. We almost always assume the lead investor role and our portfolio companies benefit from a collaborative team of talented, passionate, and dedicated professionals with deep and extensive domain knowledge and experience. We maximize value by supporting the most appropriate business model for each individual venture and work with management to formulate and maintain focus on strategies to achieve financial independence.

 

Catalyst's distinct investment focus on technology solutions within the health care sector, such as medical devices, diagnostics, instruments, and drug screening platforms, helps minimize the risk of scientific uncertainty inherent in many health care areas such as drug development. Additionally, by concentrating our investments in the Northeast, we benefit both from the region's innovative research and clinical excellence as well as from the strength of our relationships within industry, academia, clinical medicine, and elsewhere.
