Overview

Founded in 1994, Pappas Ventures has more than $250 million in capital under management. In early 2005 we began investing out of Pappas Ventures III ($108 million in committed capital). We have guided the launch and/or development of some 40 life sciences companies, and to date a quarter of them have completed initial public offerings or successfully merged with corporate partners. Our scientific, medical and business professionals work closely with exceptional entrepreneurs to provide our portfolio companies with the financing, guidance and extensive network of relationships necessary to build successful enterprises.

In a world of invention and change, we’ve built a reputation for stability and leadership – and the outstanding results of our portfolio companies attest to this crucial balance. Entrepreneurs and investors come to Pappas Ventures with different goals, but they find a common ground, transforming visions into solid value.
