We seeded the company together with our friends Pitango and the US investor Springbank among others Pi Health led by Geoffrey Kim and Bobby Reddy, MD has built an unique end-to-end software stack for clinical trials.

🤔 𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸? 🧬💊💉👩‍⚕️🧪🩻 This has been our topic at today‘s panel discussion at the invest.austria conference 2024. Together with my co-panelists Sophie Ehrlich (from EIT Health), Christian Bouda (from bloomblisser.com) and our moderator Markus Wanko (from xista) we‘ve been elaborating on: ✅ The various healthcare verticals and respective risk profiles ✅ Public vs. Private Funding and the need for a closer collaboration between these two ✅ Brining start-ups and SMEs closer to each other to accelerate innovation ✅ Current PE and VC environment ✅ Healthcare deal activity and outlook going forward Conclusion on the initial question: 𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗲𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸! 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵?! 1️⃣ „𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗛 𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗛“ - it is our „duty“ to allocate capital and to invest into our own health through supporting innovation and the relevant infrastructure 2️⃣ Healthcare investing is „𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗦𝗖𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘“ driven investing -> less emotions, more facts 3️⃣ Healthcare is only at the very beginning of it‘s innovative disruption and the convergence between disciplines (e.g. life sciences and (deep) tech) will turbocharge this upcoming disruption -> 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 => 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗥𝗨𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 Besides that, there have been great discussions and stimulating thoughts, mainly around the political environment and the „𝗗𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗙𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗦“ concept = TOPIC OF THE DAY And we also saw insightful discussions on the foodtech, space investing markets, discussions on the democratization of the investment industry and - since we‘re in #vienna - the CEE investment environment. Thanks Daniela Haunstein, Nikolaus "Niki" Futter, Arnaud Béasse for organizing. Fantastic event 👏 Ps.: the #privateequity asset class still remains a little underrepresented in Austria. 🇦🇹 Room to improve ↗️ PPs.: It‘s been a pleasure meeting and catching up with fantastic people like Bernadette Ules, Csanad Daniel, Niklas Pichler, Patrik Cesky, Rudolf Kinsky, Heinz Brasic, Floyd Plettenberg, Stephan Freudl, Florentina Spindler, Karl Lankmayr, Tim Lammar, Zuzana Jahodníková, Michael Hähnle, Christian Bacher, Günter Leonhartsberger, Johannes Cech, Marko Mitrovic … #healthcaredeals #mergersandacquisitions cc: VINC - Healthcare Advisory, ISP HEALTHCARE GmbH

Start-ups in Europe: a light at the end of the tunnel - finally!    This article by Nadine Schimroszik in Handelsblatt gives reason for hope for the tech ecosystem, as it summarises a development that has been tentatively emerging for some time: The number of new #start-ups in Germany is growing again, by 17 per cent, as shown by a comparison of the first quarter of 2024 with the same quarter of the previous year.   💡It is particularly interesting to see that most investments are being made in AI. An unmistakable sign that they continue to be a driver of innovation for the German startup ecosystem.   We recently came to a similar conclusion with my team, as part of our analysis of the German startup landscape. Our conclusion: more and more funding are being mobilised for ♻️ #Greentech business ideas that are based on AI-based technologies and have a positive impact on our planet. More info on our research at IRIS can be found in Startup Insider`s Investors Report 2024: https://lnkd.in/dU-5AMPz More info on Nadine’s insightful article here: https://lnkd.in/depicwGA

🚀 A Conversation on Enabling Healthcare Innovation with Venture Capital: I recently had the privilege to welcome Nicole Graner from the Süddeutsche Zeitung at our YZR Capital headquarters. Article in 1st comment. Tldr: 🔎 Critical need for venture capital in fostering healthcare innovation. 🔎 How our expertise-driven approach is making a difference. 🔎 My journey as a physician, entrepreneur and investor, always deeply intertwined with my passion for #healthtech. 💡 That's why: alongside Markus Feuerecker I co-founded YZR Capital with a clear vision: to propel European healthtech startups into global leadership positions. 💡 We strongly believe that our team’s expertise in health is key to supporting founders who are dedicated to change the European healthtech ecosystem. ✔ Apparently our name is difficult to pronounce – for everyone who is still wondering, it’s “wise” with an R at the end ;) -> Thanks again to Nicole - it was a pleasure! And thanks to the fantastic team at YZR Capital - Christina Schmidt, Paul Epple, Urs Keller, Holger Ebersberger, Elmar Willebrand, Michael Dr. Bitzer. #HealthTech #VentureCapital #Innovation

I recently came across an insightful article by ZDF on the growing importance of sustainability in investment decisions and will share some main takeaways on this with you: 📈 Growing Interest in Sustainable Banking: People are increasingly prioritizing sustainability in their financial choices. According to a Bankfachverband survey, one-fifth of German individuals consider sustainability when selecting their investments. However, I think we must stay vigilant and ask ourselves how we truly define sustainability. ❗ Beware of Greenwashing: Large conventional banks may superficially embrace sustainability while still engaging in environmentally harmful practices elsewhere. That’s not just misleading, it's hypocritical and dangerous. So, how can you tell if a company is truly sustainable and not just greenwashing? Look for transparency in their reporting - real numbers and clear impacts. Check if they have third-party verification and if they consistently follow through on their commitments. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! #SustainableFinance #GreenInvesting #Decarbonization #Greenwashing

I had a blast at health.tech conference together my dear colleague Robert Huber representing Digital Dental & Healthcare Technology GmbH & Co. KG. We are building innovative dental medical devices and wanted to identify key partners, industry stakeholders, and hot trends in this sector. For me it was a success. Thanks to everyone we met. Here are three fast take-aways: #hardware is becoming more and more of a hot topic. Who would have thought? #fundraising from VCs is tough right now but there are other options of financing like getting public grants or even starting an equity crowdfunding campaign - a hot trend in the US right now. #startup life is like deep sea diving. You get the oxygen tank (cash) you dive in and from then on the clock starts ticking (burn rate) and you know you'll need to resurface (raise again/survive on your own) in the near future. Special thanks to Robert, it was a great event with you. Let's keep innovating. #medical #device #startup

How to improve Tech Transfer from Research Organizations and Universities? Finding good answers and collaborating to implement them across the European Ecosystem is crucial for us to stay attractive as a business location. Especially at times of stagnating investments, we urgently need to increase transfer effectiveness and reduce barriers. In the Munich Ecosystem, we have fantastic success stories like Reverion or FERNRIDE but are constantly working on how we can create an even better ecosystem for our sciencepreneurs at XPRENEURS incubator for high-tech start-ups by UnternehmerTUM. So I am excited to discuss this topic with experts across Europe at Podim Conference in a panel and a keynote next week in Maribor. Looking forward to opportunities to join forces - reach out if you are there and want to connect. #startup #ecosystems #sciencepreneurship
