Aperture Venture Partners

Our Strategy
Throughout the last 30 years, our principals have built many successful businesses by making sound financial, strategic and operational decisions. Equally important, we have partnered with top management and co-investors. Our general strategy follows these themes. Our flexible approach allows us to lead or join syndicates and invest in a variety of subsectors within healthcare as long as the company has exceptional competitive advantages.

Aperture believes healthcare is an excellent sector to invest in because of the continuing vast unmet medical needs, cost-effective improvement requirements, aging population and lifestyle demands. We invest in all subsectors of healthcare because of the array of opportunities and because of our ability to make informed decisions about and add value to a wide variety of companies. Medical device companies that provide superior clinical benefits and a cost-effective solution are attractive targets for investment. Biopharmaceutical and specialty pharmaceutical companies hold great promise to enhance therapeutic outcomes and provide differentiated solutions. Diagnostics and tools companies will help determine and streamline therapeutic interventions and development in a more preventive and personalized basis. The healthcare services and healthcare IT segments remain promising dynamic fields with companies attempting to solve myriad problems and create opportunities for payers, providers and patients.
