Opportunities for the future

"I relish the opportunity to work with successful founders and entrepreneurs who are navigating big challenges. I get great satisfaction seeing the huge support we’re able to offer these teams and helping them build amazing software businesses bringing about incredible change. Also, I have always found healthcare an inspiring industry and have invested in this sector for over 20 years. The global healthcare sector remains under-digitalised and we’re seeing first-hand, through the businesses we’re backing, how software is bringing about significant positive change. Our investment philosophy is to always be part of the solution, backing great healthcare software businesses that positively support the sector."
