Investment thesis

Tachyon Ventures provides early-stage 'smart capital' to entrepreneurs pushing the boundaries at the forefront of medicine, biotech, and bioengineering. The firm's thesis is built on 'Scientific Risk-Arbitrage': knowing how to price scientific risk earlier than others, maximizing upside by investing early in disruptive platforms while mitigating risk by focusing on world-class research with protected IP. Tachyon backs scientist-founder teams with peer-reviewed, published research who are recognized leaders in their fields — particularly in immunotherapy, gene therapy/genetic engineering, organ engineering, and stem cell/regenerative medicine — and engages a network of deeply knowledgeable academic scientists to assess investments and support portfolio companies.

Incredibly proud of our Managing Partner Ernest Turro and his team at Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences at Mount Sinai. This discovery — identifying the most prevalent known recessive neurodevelopmental disorder — will bring diagnostic clarity to tens of thousands of families and opens a clear path toward gene replacement therapies. The kind of science that changes lives.
