LIFE bioCEEd is a leading investor, actively supporting early-stage basic research and serving as a catalyst for translating visionary concepts into tangible healthcare solutions.
1 / Sourcing Innovation
Our venture development journey commences with actively sourcing promising and innovative applied research projects from univerisities, hospitals and research institutions. We scout for visionary ideas that align with our commitment to advancing healthcare.
2 / Initial Assessment
Once receiving the initial information & data, we begin with conducting an initial assessment, where we meticulously verify the hypotheses underlying the identified projects. Our team of fund managers and scientific board members assesses scientific validity, market potential, IP protection, and feasibility, ensuring the foundation for success is sufficient.
3 / Matrix Assessment / Due Diligence
If the project passess the initial assessment round, rigorous due diligence follows, where we dive deeper into the project details and build a roadmap of next steps by evaluating the science merit, competitive landscape, in-vivo/in-vitro data, IP, market access routes, medical problem, etc. Matrix serves as a core internal document for the investment decision by LIFE bioCEEd investment committee.
4 / Phase 1 Investment (Proof-of Concept)
LIFE bioCEEd commits initial investments in Phase 1 of upto 400 000 EUR, providing vital financial support to catalyze the early stages of development. This funding empowers researchers to refine their concepts and move closer to tangible outcomes by completing assigned tasks and milestones – it is mainly intended for projects that are still in pre-clinical stage and need funding/expertise to complete this stage of their research.
Building on validated successes from Phase 1, Phase 2 investments are deployed to fuel further development and scale ventures to a level where they can make a significant impact on the healthcare landscape. In Phase 2, LIFE bioCEEd commits to an investment of up to 1 500 000 EUR to support spin-off formation and continuous venture development process. LIFE bioCEEd actively supports the established independent entities, equipped to drive their innovations forward with dedicated focus and resources.
