UB Ventures is more than a traditional venture fund. We strive to be a true partner rather than just a line item on the cap table by providing a real, tangible value add. Our disciplined investment approach is hence anchored by the following pillars:
- Oncology-Focused: We invest in breakthrough innovations that address the most critical challenges in healthcare, with oncology at the heart of our approach.
- Pre-Seed/Early Seed Stage Investing: Our focus is on early-stage opportunities with the potential to rapidly evolve into market-leading ventures. We are usually the first check in most of our portfolio companies and we're proud of it. We believe in early conviction and hands-on support.
- Team, #1 Criteria: Exceptional leadership is paramount; we prioritize founding teams that exhibit visionary leadership, operational excellence, and robust scientific acumen.
- Data Driven: Every investment decision is underpinned by rigorous data analysis and objective evaluation, ensuring that each opportunity is meticulously vetted.
- Agile: As a rolling fund, our nimble approach enables us to adapt swiftly to market dynamics and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
- Geographic Focus: We exclusively invest in US-based companies, leveraging a market enriched by robust regulatory oversight, deep innovation networks, and dynamic healthcare ecosystems.
- Platform Venture Investment Model: Beyond providing capital, we offer comprehensive strategic guidance, operational support, and access to an extensive network of industry experts and partners, cultivating an ecosystem designed to accelerate growth.
