With over 30 years of experience investing in novel life science technologies, we understand how challenging it can be to turn a great idea into a great company.
We are comfortable evaluating and taking significant scientific risks. Our team and network of advisors includes a number of former executives with first-hand experience of these challenges, who are available to provide support and advice when it is needed.
We also understand that building a successful company takes time and patience. Our team is committed to building real value over the long-term.
"I was impressed by Abingworth’s thoughtful, candid and rigorous diligence process, and their interest in building a relationship with management before they became investors. That approach created mutual understanding and trust, and laid the foundation for a highly productive partnership."
Timothy Noyes, President and CEO of Proteon Therapeutics
"Abingworth not only devised and executed a thorough diligence process, but as our lead Series A investor, galvanized a strong long-term investor syndicate. Through their expansive network, they also helped us secure the site of our new corporate headquarters in an intensely competitive real estate market."
Grant Pickering, President and CEO of SutroVax
"Abingworth was the first institutional investor to reach out directly to VenatoRx, even before we were looking to fund-raise. They have excellent knowledge of the infectious disease domain space and had clearly done their homework. We enjoy a strong collaborative relationship that adds significant value to the company."
Christopher Burns, CEO of VenatoRx
"Abingworth is an excellent investor for GammaDelta Therapeutics. Using strong scientific expertise and astute business sense they drove the seed investment with King’s College and the Crick institute and then our highly productive collaboration with Takeda. High quality science and ethical behaviour form the foundation of day-by-day activities at Abingworth and it is extremely reassuring to have such partners."
Paolo Paoletti, CEO of GammaDelta Therapeutics
"The business acumen and scientific insight provided by multiple members of the Abingworth team is invaluable to a young company like IFM. We are fortunate to be working with them as we grow and develop the company."
Gary Glick, CEO of IFM Therapeutics
