About Downing Ventures

Downing Ventures channels investor money into young UK healthtech businesses. Its portfolio firms build evidence-based, technology-enabled clinical products, and several already earn revenue by selling to the NHS and to health systems elsewhere.

What Downing Ventures offers

  • Healthtech investment — a route for investors to hold stakes in early-stage UK healthcare technology companies.
  • Specialist management — a group of healthcare specialists headed by Dr Nigel Pitchford, whose own record in healthcare venture investing spans 25 years.
  • Impact focus — backing for companies that contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially good health and well-being.

Who it works with

The offer is aimed at investors who want exposure to healthcare technology. The companies it backs aim to widen access to care, improve patient outcomes and reduce delivery costs. Named portfolio examples include Open Bionics, Future Health Works and Fundamental VR.
