Investment experience to support growth opportunities

successful exits and M&A transactions —
board seat representations

Since its foundation in 1996, GLSV has successfully established an attractive portfolio of life science companies. The company's first fund, GLSV I, was invested in 18 ventures. The development of this fund was validated by successful exits and merger & acquisition transactions and also included a number of board seat representations, several of which were at chairman level.

With the successful completion of its second fund in 2002, GLSV has entered a new period of growth opening up further opportunities to support the development of businesses. The second fund is being used to finance promising companies active across the life science industry.
