Overview

Longitude Capital specializes in making venture growth investments in biotechnology, medical technology and health solutions companies that seek to improve clinical outcomes, enhance quality of life, and/or reduce system costs. We invest in both privately held and publicly traded companies through a variety of investment approaches. Since 2006, Longitude Capital has raised over $1.8 billion across four funds and demonstrated an ability to source, manage, and exit attractive investments across multiple market cycles. Our venture growth strategy is rooted in building a balanced portfolio of clinical-stage and commercial-stage companies with clinically de-risked assets, favorable valuations relative to risk profile, and attractive expected returns within three to five years from initial investment. Longitude Capital seeks to identify new investment opportunities by tapping into our broad network of industry relationships or through the execution of intensive thematic research into emerging therapeutic areas or industry sub-sectors. We utilize a variety of investment structures, including traditional venture capital, asset spin-outs, recapitalizations, PIPEs, open market purchases, royalties, and other equity and equity-linked instruments.
