A discriminating investment thesis with a particular focus
Particular Ventures is a closely held angel fund that invests in pre-Seed (aka belief capital) and Seed stage consumer-facing medtech companies operating at the intersection of medical devices, digital health, wearables, and the democratization of healthcare. Optimal investment targets are consumer-facing medical device or digital health products that rely on high quality product design, especially those with a user experience element that enables consumer empowerment with regard to self-care for health management. Our goal is to identify dynamic and strongly ethical entrepreneurs with a well-articulated business model and large unmet need where Particular Ventures can provide not only funding but guidance, advice, and introductions.
