Biotech and Biomedicine are characterised by much higher levels of complexity than other industries, requiring deeper science and more sophisticated approaches to analysis, forecasting, valuation and due diligence.

Longevity industry will see much higher failure rates than the already-high clinical trial failure rates of Biotech.

Not just the biggest industry in human history, but the one with the largest potential social impact and humanitarian benefit as well.

We have been heavily prioritising some biomedically-focused sectors, in particular AI for Longevity and Biomarker Panels of Human Longevity.
