VTC Seed Fund

VTC Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund investing in healthcare and other high-growth technology companies, backed by a base of limited partners. The fund has strategic affiliations with Carilion Clinic, a Virginia healthcare system, and Virginia Tech, which it says it uses to source, evaluate and support portfolio companies. Through these relationships, VTC Ventures says it can offer founders access to hospital systems and patient populations for market testing, as well as university laboratories, engineering talent and intellectual property resources. Its investment focus is guided by the areas of expertise of its limited partners, with a majority of its capital allocated to health-related innovations and the remainder to other high-growth technology sectors. The fund typically reserves further capital for follow-on investment in existing portfolio companies.
