Gordian Ventures is a global life sciences venture firm focused on the incubation of companies with extremely high technical barriers to entry. As co-founders, Gordian Ventures works side-by-side with scientist-entrepreneurs whose insights about overcoming technical barriers are often beyond the scope of the traditional biotech funding model. Our role as active co-founders enables Gordian Ventures to provide embedded, hands-on expertise critical to aligning novel concepts and building visionary companies. We collaborate with our scientific co-founders in the quest to surmount previously unbreakable technical barriers and combat previously intractable diseases that have plagued mankind for millennia. Delivering new age solutions to age-old problems means thinking beyond the limitations of a conventional “magic pill” development cycle of identifying a biology, selecting a target, and attempting to produce a drug to resolve a specific aspect of biology. Gordian Ventures and our scientific co-founders are investing in a new archetype to build companies capable of solving the healthcare problems of today and tomorrow. We are moving at a rapid pace beyond frameworks limited to biology and chemistry and are forging ahead to explore uncharted science at the intersections of multiple technologies to create a healthier future for the people of our planet.
