Investment thesis

Gilde Healthcare is a specialist private investment firm with €3 billion under management across three fund strategies: Venture & Growth in Healthcare, Private Equity in Healthcare, and Private Equity in Climate Solutions. The firm's stated mission is to invest in companies that enable 'better care at lower cost.'
