We focus on the initial creation and development of biotech startups across all indications and drug types. During the early stages of drug discovery, we can nurture and accelerate a startup's growth from idea to clinical program. VBI'sunique investment and incubation model started out of necessity in 2014. Our roots are in drug discovery services, where we operate world-leading and proprietary drug discovery platforms. While serving big pharma customers from around the globe, we came to realize the huge demand from many entrepreneurs who have great ideas but cannot receive funding to advance their plan due to lack of data. We saw the value in many of these innovative ideas and provided our CRO drug discovery services, operational support, and monetary backing to help these creative scientists embark on the "0 to 1"​ transformation. This spark launched our "equity for service (EFS)"​ investment and incubation model. VBI is based in Shanghai, with an office in Boston and personnel in California. As of early 2019, VBI has invested in over 30 companies out of the hundreds of proposals submitted for review and we plan to invest at a rapid pace in the years to come. The majority of our current portfolio companies are US based, but we are open to proposals globally and are excited to see new ideas that fit our investment strategy.
