Investment thesis

UB Ventures is an oncology-focused micro VC firm that invests in early-stage breakthrough innovations in healthcare, with oncology at the heart of its approach. The firm typically writes the first check into portfolio companies, prioritizing founding teams with visionary leadership, operational excellence, and robust scientific acumen. Beyond capital, UB Ventures operates a platform venture model—offering strategic mentorship, operational support, and access to an extensive network of industry experts—with the goal of turning peer-reviewed science into market-ready therapies. The firm exclusively targets US-based companies and applies a rigorous, data-driven investment process.

Notable quotes

I believed venture capitalism would not only give me financial gains if done correctly but also allow me to create much more impact on health disparities, inequalities and disease cure.
