investment in high-potential companies

Over the years, GLSV has established a sound track record through discerning investments in high-potential companies. After registration of the original fund in 1996, the available capital of Euro 66 million has been invested in first and follow-on financing rounds of 18 ventures active in the life sciences.

The positive development of the first fund has been highlighted by successful exits and merger & acquisition transactions. The second fund is being used to finance further promising companies that operate in significant markets with considerable upside potential.
