Working across nine universities in Illinois, we deliver the resources and expertise, with a patient capital approach, that are critical to addressing early-stage challenges and nurturing high-impact science to become translationally viable.
Our unique Greenhouse model fills the gap where venture capital can’t yet go: replication studies, target validation, fit-for-purpose models, and IND-enabling plans—the essential, unprofitable work that turns promising biology into investable reality.
Our approach builds more than companies, it builds capability. not just companies but capability. We’re developing the next generation of biotech innovation and training a new generation of translational operators.
The result is a self-reinforcing ecosystem: discoveries become investable ventures, ventures create skilled jobs, and those jobs anchor Illinois’ growth as a credible life-sciences hub.
