FUNDING

Launching a life sciences company is not for the faint-hearted. The journey from idea to impact can be long and circuitous as companies work to bring their life-changing technologies to market. 

LSG Investments can help. We invest up to $5 million in early-stage life science companies at pivotal points to help them grow and flourish. 

We are committed to building ongoing relationships with our portfolio companies – giving them the support and advice they need to navigate the path to success.

Once you pass an initial screening, we’ll review your business plan, milestones, and technology. It’s an intensive and selective process, but thanks to our venture-level due diligence, funding from LSG signals that a company has a viable, investible idea.

If your idea is still in the germination stage, our Business Opportunity Grants may help fill due diligence gaps by funding market studies and technical and legal consulting.

Applications for Business Opportunity Grants are by invitation only.

INVESTMENT THESIS

We focus on early-stage companies that are working on drug discovery, diagnostics, and devices, as well as tools that facilitate manufacturing at scale in these three areas. Start-ups tackling product commercialization constraints or developing IT-driven solutions to large-scale healthcare challenges are also encouraged to apply. Be prepared to tell us about your connection to Pennsylvania.

Our Business Opportunity Grants of up to $100,000 can help young companies fill due diligence gaps that stand between them and funding from LSG Investments. After completing market research or receiving business and/or legal consulting, Business Opportunity Grant recipients often go on to secure additional funding from us.

Applications for Business Opportunity Grants are by invitation only.
