SOUTHEAST OPPORTUNITIES

RESEARCH IN THE SOUTHEAST IS SIGNIFICANT; VENTURE FUNDS ARE NOT.

• On the Coasts (CA and MA), for every $1 of research funding, there is about $1 of Bioscience venture funding.

• In the Southeast, for every $1 of research funding, there is $0.10 of Bioscience venture funding.

Summary: The thesis is to identify medical device concepts that serve a true unmet medical need, but are overlooked by traditional venture firms due to the modest capital needs or early-stage nature.

Given the size of Fund I, modest investments (such as $1M) work well within the Fund’s economics (not true for larger venture funds). Additionally, we believe that many of these medical devices only have modest regulatory and R&D risk which can be validated during diligence (the perception is that the risk is much higher).
