Focus on medical need
The AshHill team evaluates each investment opportunity on specific criteria that includes the financial potential of the company. But the approach goes beyond the numbers; AshHill Biomedical Investments is also focused on areas of unmet medical need. With clinical expertise, the team is able to compare a potential investment company’s methodology to existing treatments, diagnostic tools or prevention methods.
By recognizing truly breakthrough technologies, we identify companies that have the potential to improve the health and wellness of under-served populations or address issues that are being ignored by larger companies. The regulatory track success of our portfolio companies demonstrates our ability to identify companies that have a strong likelihood of success in their endeavors.
