BioScience Ventures Group

The BioScience Ventures Group, known as BSVG, is an association of experienced business angels that invests exclusively in early-stage life-science companies. It offers financing at the pre-seed, seed and early stages, with the size of each investment varying depending on the round. Its team has a medical and pharmacological background, with particular experience in drug development and in designing preclinical and clinical studies, especially in the field of biologics such as antibodies or proteins. The group says this specialised background helps it increase the efficiency of its investments and reduce development costs for the companies it backs. Alongside its scientific expertise, the team brings broad and long-standing experience within the investment business more generally, which it says supports its work identifying and backing early-stage life-science ventures.
