Our funds
Since our inception in 2006, we have managed over €120 million across our three funds, BGV I, BGV II and BGV III. Our first two funds BGV I and BGV II, launched in 2006 and 2012 respectively, have yielded major successes including Dezima Pharma and Acerta Pharma which were sold within three years at multi-billion dollar deal valuations. We are now actively looking for new seed and early stage investment opportunities in biotech, medtech & diagnostics companies for BGV III launched in 2017.
