KBL Healthcare Ventures
(KBL)

KBL is a venture capital firm dedicated to investing in early stage and emerging growth healthcare companies. Our goal is to identify companies that are run by seasoned management teams and that have the potential to create long term value. We feel that the convergence of biology, chemistry, physics and computer science will spark the creation of several new paradigms within healthcare. Major areas of investment include life sciences, medical devices, healthcare services and medical information technology. Within the life sciences space, we will invest in biopharmaceuticals, drug discovery platforms and advanced materials. Within the medical device area, we seek companies addressing large, unmet medical needs with demonstrated clinical benefit. KBL brings a team of investment professionals with prior experiences as senior executives, clinical practitioners and venture capitalists. While we are capable of bringing managerial and technical expertise to an emerging company, we are also able to draw upon a rich network of contacts across multiple disciplines to foster the growth and development of our portfolio companies. We pride ourselves on developing lasting relationships with our entrepreneurs and look to cultivate a professionally and personally rewarding experience for all involved. |
