A unique approach to venture investments
Novo is a specialised life science venture capital investor. We focus on building and realising financial value in our portfolio. In addition to generating financial return, we strive to invest in companies that develop drugs, medical devices and diagnostics that can improve the health and lives of people around the world.
Our venture investments are structured as an open evergreen fund with Novo as the only investor. This unique funding structure allows us to assume a long-term perspective when we make our investments.

Our team also supports our portfolio companies through participation on the board of directors and by leveraging the experience gained from our diverse life science portfolio.
