Investment thesis

Broadview Ventures is a mission-driven investment organization whose primary goal is to improve human health in the areas of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Established in 2009 to address the translational gap, Broadview provides seed and early-stage equity investments in companies developing innovative technologies — spanning therapeutics, devices, diagnostics, and digital health — for cardiovascular and neurovascular indications. The firm invests in great science backed by outstanding management teams, focusing on novel mechanisms and innovative technologies, and leverages access to global thought leaders to identify and address development hurdles. Broadview is funded entirely by the Leducq Charitable Trust as an evergreen vehicle, acting as a catalyst investor at critical points in development with a long investment horizon. Its affiliated fund, Longview Ventures ($100M over 10 years, launched 2018), makes follow-on investments in select Broadview portfolio companies at the clinical stage (Series B–C), complementing Broadview's dedication to Seed and Series A financings. The portfolio spans a global footprint across North America, Europe, and Israel, and Broadview's investments have been leveraged 16.5x by co- and follow-on investments, generating over $2.1 billion in total investment dollars.

Notable quotes

For every dollar invested by Broadview, its portfolio companies have raised seven additional dollars in co-investments, follow-on funding, and grants.
