Spring Ridge Ventures - Our Approach

Visionary investing in the landmark medical companies of tomorrow.

Mission

Spring Ridge Ventures invests in technology-based medical device and biopharmaceutical companies throughout their development, with an emphasis on early-stage opportunities. Our industry veterans invest in revolutionary concepts with the potential to anchor substantial medical businesses. We are hands-on investors and often lead venture-financing rounds.

SRV’s general partners have worked together since 1989 as investors, company founders, chief executives and directors in many successful medical companies. We have spent years in the entrepreneur’s shoes and have firsthand experience with the challenges of growing a company from idea through IPO or sale. In our venture practice, we invest our experience alongside our capital to anticipate issues and craft strategies to maximize the chances for success.

Investment Philosophy

Visionary Investing
Spring Ridge Ventures prides itself on backing entrepreneurs committed to building the landmark medical companies of tomorrow. Consequently, we are eager to invest in first-in-category medical technology companies meeting our exacting requirements. We are subject matter experts capable of adding value from the first meeting.

Invest in the Best
Large, high-growth markets are the starting point. In addition, SRV portfolio companies need to have significant proprietary technology that promises to make a meaningful difference to patients and physicians. Finally, we work with the highest quality scientific and business-minded entrepreneurs: experienced individuals with a passion to advance the state-of-the-art in healthcare while making a venture-style financial return for themselves and their investors.

Executional Excellence
Success in a technology-based medical company is no accident: Myriad obstacles must be navigated, including pre-clinical development, patent prosecution, clinical trials, regulatory approval, fundraising, reimbursement, and traditional sales and marketing. Strategies need to be put in place early to minimize the risks associated with each of these challenges. Mitigating risk from day one in a capital-efficient manner is critically important to both entrepreneurs and venture investors. Minimizing risk while maximizing opportunity is second nature to Spring Ridge Ventures investment professionals.

Network
SRV investment professionals have extensive connections within the scientific, clinical, venture and corporate communities that we leverage to benefit our portfolio companies.
