A new investment typically goes into a Series A or Series B round with adequate reserves to support subsequent funding until the company exits via a trade sale or an IPO. Over its lifetime, a company is likely to receive $5 million to $15 million from the fund. The life sciences team makes investments from the VIMAC Milestone Medica in early stage biotechnology and medical device companies.They lead or co-lead most investments and their managers play a very active role on portfolio companiesâ€™ Boards of Directors. Often, they invest in a company's first institutional round of funding and maintain support throughout the companyâ€™s lifecycle.
