Wellington Partners Life Science Fund V (WPLS-V)

Wellington Partners, a leading European venture capital firm investing in early- and growth-stage life science companies, 31 July 2019 announced the final close of its fifth-generation fund Wellington Partners Life Science Fund V (WPLS-V). The fund closed at EUR 210 million, making it the largest life science dedicated fund raised by Wellington Partners to date. WPLS-V will build a portfolio of approximately 15-20 companies, ranging in focus from novel biotechnology platforms, new therapeutics and medical devices, including selected investments in diagnostics and digital medicine. Like its predecessor fund, WPLS-IV, the new fund will primarily target opportunities in Europe with a particular focus on German speaking areas but will also selectively consider opportunities in North America or Asia. All of the fund’s investments will target substantial improvements to current medical practice for the benefit of patients, practitioners, and payors alike. WPLS-V attracted international investment from new blue-chip investors including KfW Capital, Talanx and US-based UTIMCO, the University of Texas/Texas A&M Investment Company. Existing investors European Investment Fund and the European Investment bank also participated in the fund. *
