We recognised in the venture community as a dedicated and incisive early-stage investor that delivers results.

This is the reason that top tier investors like to co-invest with us.

"Dr. Stefan Herr is scientist and manager with a sense for impact and perspectives of new medicines. He carefully analyses products in regard to their efficacy and adverse events, their chances in the market and the feasibility of production. Dr. Herr approached me in a very professional manner for developing a new drug to treat ulcerative colitis. Within just one year, he helped to bring this novel drug to a state where an authority-relevant trial can now be started. He was successful in raising further funds to support this trial."
