With only 10-20% of new venture start ups succeeding, it is important that investments are carefully evaluated and nurtured to become a success. Today, many VCs and angel groups are passive investors that chase industry hype waves in the hope of large returns. This leaves investor groups learning years down the road that their investment will not pay off and it leaves founders little chance of achieving their dreams of changing the world within healthcare.

We are a boutique investment group with a hands-on approach to identifying quality companies, mentoring founders and de-risking investments. It is said, that you should invest on what you know. Our Big Tree Innovation Fund co-founders each have over 30 years of expertise in the healthcare space and have worked in a variety of roles and companies from start up to large scale businesses and know what it takes to position, market and succeed in healthcare.

Positioned in the Boston healthcare ecosystem, our investor group has a strong network of capability and knowledge that can be leveraged to help our Big Tree entrepreneurs succeed. We are partnered with the Mansfield Bio-Incubator and ValueCurve Partners to bring a strong framework to evaluate companies, incubate ideas, and position and grow start ups in the competitive space of healthcare.

Our objective is to raise between $150K to $2MM in seed or series A capital for each funding round. We seek minority or lead investments depending on the size of the round. We are willing to work closely with other angel groups or venture funds to ensure that the round is closed and a company adequately capitalized. We are looking for companies that have a clear path to penetrate markets and will lead to significant step-ups in valuation. Our target is a 5 to 10x return within 3 to 5 years.
