We seek to partner with entrepreneurs building elite biotechnology companies, and we look forward to the potential development of new medicines for patients that Fund II may help bring to the market.” With Fund II, SR One will continue to invest in biotechnology companies that have the potential to address significant gaps in the current treatment landscape. SR One’s investment strategy focuses on providing financial and direct operational support to help its portfolio companies advance programs through value-generating inflection points. “We have built a team of seasoned investors and venture partners who I believe are well positioned to continue SR One’s history of productive investment,” said Rajeev Dadoo, PhD, Managing Partner, SR One. “With Fund II, we hope to continue to apply our tried and tested partnership model in an e?ort to benefit the companies in which we invest and, ultimately, the patients and families that they serve.” Kirkland & Ellis acted as counsel to SR One for the fundraise.
