Our investment universe is mostly concentrated in therapeutics, within private ventures, small-cap and micro-cap public companies. We look for these companies to have transformative catalysts in the years to come, many of which are raising capital from institutional investors for the first time. Our growth capital supports early-stage ventures in the pre-clinical development phases, with a view to long-term partnerships and multiple rounds of financing into those firms. Altium also helps companies attract additional capital through our network of like-minded investors.
