The strategy seeks to invest in companies operating in specific areas of innovation, including therapeutics, diagnostics, and life sciences tools. By leveraging Sands Capital’s global research platform to source, assess, and structure investment opportunities, Sands Capital partners with pioneers in the expanding class of innovative life sciences businesses.
As of October 1, 2021, the firm was redefined to be the combination of Sands Capital Management, LLC and Sands Capital Ventures, LLC.
