VentureHealth offers to invest in Life Sciences
Crowdfunding platform VENTUREHEALTH
The Silicon Valley-based company was founded by professional investors who are seriously concerned about the state of the healthcare industry. The company formulates its mission as creating conditions for radically improving the quality of service through the introduction and financing of breakthrough technologies.
At the moment, accredited investors (only they have the right to invest in American companies) have limited opportunities to participate in the life of medical startups, and the latter, in turn, remain underfunded.
The VentureHealth platform offers investors the opportunity to finance various companies with a wide range of parameters, such as the level of risk, return on investment, potentially explosive technologies.
Companies operating in the following areas are allowed to be placed on the platform:
- Biotechnologies
- Medical devices
- Pharmaceuticals
- Diagnostics
- Medical services
It is also worth noting the areas that VentureHealth does not work with:
- Research projects
- Companies operating in small markets
- Sequential (incremental) innovations
- Enterprises related to Capital intensive ventures
- Mass-consumption medical products
- Outdated software
If the startup meets the primary requirements on the subject, then it is subjected to a thorough check of its financial situation, an assessment of the team and the submitted business plan is made. The value of the company is determined. Only a small percentage of applicant companies successfully pass this phase.
By supporting the project, the investor does not acquire a share in the company, but only his "financial interest", which is expressed in participation in a venture fund, which is legally the owner and holder of the startup's shares. This mechanism was created in order not to generate a large number of stockholders at this stage and thereby not create additional paperwork. In addition, for potential investors who are interested in participating in the next rounds, it is much easier and more attractive to work with one large holder. "Financial interest" turns into shares at the time of purchase of the company or its IPO.
The VentureHealth platform does not charge any commissions from startups. Her interest lies in taking the company to the next round of investment, within which she will receive her percentage of shares or cash.
The minimum and maximum investment amounts are determined individually for each campaign. It depends on both the amount involved and the allocated ownership share.
