GENESIS Ventures

Our vehicle and our investiment policy

GENESIS Biomed is proud to announce the foundation of GENESIS Ventures,

an investment vehicle based in Barcelona, investing in recently created start-ups or entrepreneurial projects in the biomedical and biotechnology field (therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices and others) with the clear aim of developing innovative products. The society is envisaged as a very early-stage tool to help with the development of excellent scientific projects to reach key value milestones for attracting a first round of investment from venture or corporate funds.

GENESIS Ventures will fund projects or start-ups with tickets worth between €50,000 and 100,000 depending on the development needs identified. The investment period for the vehicle will end in October 2021.

GENESIS Biomed will be the company in charge of managing the fund. For more information please email to contact@genesis-biomed.com

The current investment portfolio consists of 12 projects

Phase 1: Pre-foundation of the spin-off

Our total fund: €2 M

Tickets*: €50,000-€100,000

An investment agreement is signed with a research centre and research group

Max. investment period*: 1 year

GENESIS Biomed will manage the projects and will inform the Investments Committee

Phase 2: Foundation of the spin-off

After the investment period, the spin-off company should be founded. If the spin-off is not founded and the project is licensed to a third party, the investment agreement governs the return for GENESIS Ventures (via upfront royalties).

On foundation, GENESIS Ventures acquires the corresponding shares as set out in the investment agreement. Our policy is not to become a major shareholder.

After foundation, GENESIS Biomed will help the new spin-off (becoming potential GENESIS’ client) in the fundraising process in order to conclude a series A with venture capital investors.

Exit scenario: the standard exit scenario for venture capital once the company is acquired or the project is licensed out to a third party.
