ABOUT RADIUS
 
Background

Radius Ventures is a venture capital firm focused on leading-edge health and life sciences companies. Formed in 1997, Radius searches for the winners of tomorrow - entrepreneurs whose ideas and talents qualify them to pursue large market opportunities successfully. We seek opportunities across a broad spectrum including biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, medical devices, services and healthcare/life sciences information technology. Our goal is to identify companies on the cusp of major value creation where we can envision liquidity over a three to five year time frame.

We invest much more than money in our companies. Our distinctive approach blends significant financial investment with unique access to world-class intellectual capital. Our goal is to fuel the rapid growth of our portfolio companies and drive substantial value creation. As collaborative partners, we pledge our full support throughout the ups and downs of a company's growth.

Radius helps entrepreneurs accelerate their business development, compress timelines to critical milestones, build high-caliber management teams, and reach a higher valuation plateau for their next round of financing or exit. Because we invest early in a company's development, we can make a substantial difference in its trajectory of growth, risk profile and pace of value creation. At Radius, the most rewarding and satisfying part of our work is seeing each of our portfolio companies succeed to its fullest potential.

Radius currently manages three funds with total committed capital of approximately $200 million. Generally, we invest up to $10 million over initial and subsequent financing rounds, as a lead or syndicate investor.

Opportunities abound in the health and life sciences industry. Sweeping structural changes and scientific breakthroughs are driving demand for new products and services that enhance patient care and improve operational and administrative efficiencies. Advanced technologies and the genomics revolution are driving fundamental change in life science research, promising to accelerate the pace and improve the efficiency of drug discovery and development. Novel therapeutics, diagnostics and minimally invasive interventional approaches are creating new paradigms for successful diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. Emerging information technology platforms are enabling new models for more efficient, effective and safer healthcare delivery. Entrepreneurs who can effectively build companies that capitalize on these powerful trends face a bright future.
