Description

The partners at Delphi Ventures help build healthcare companies. We provide capital, contacts and leadership to help entrepreneurs realize their vision. Healthcare is our sole focus. Founded in 1988, Delphi was among the first venture capital firms in the United States to focus on early stage medical device and biotechnology investments.

Healthcare investing is what Delphi does every day. It has been our focus since the firm was founded in 1988. Despite market cycles, we've remained committed. As a result, we have a thorough understanding of what founders and CEOs face as they start a healthcare venture and build it into a successful enterprise.

“To have created a successful company is a great achievement. No entrepreneur succeeds alone. Our success is a tribute to the partners at Delphi Ventures who led our Series A financing. Delphi helped define the strategic direction of our product development, recruit senior management and support each additional financing. Delphi was a dedicated supporter of our company throughout our product launch and ultimate acquisition.” Mark Lortz, President & CEO, TheraSense, Inc.

Our partners combine over seven decades of venture capital expertise. With significant senior level operating and capital markets experience and laboratory science accomplishments, we offer a sensible approach to our entrepreneurs and young companies. We work closely with each management team to define and maintain its strategy to help build a successful company. The partners at Delphi have current venture experience in every important sector within healthcare.

Each Delphi partner has experience in one or more of our core investment areas of medical devices and biotechnology. Depending on the nature of the deal, one partner takes the lead in meeting with the team and investigating the opportunity, but it is not unusual for four or five partners to participate in the due diligence process. If it is of interest, we invite the company to present to the partnership. Every Delphi partner is a decision-maker and no one partner has "veto" power. All investments are carefully reviewed, discussed and debated. Then, together, we commit to move forward.
