Why GVP as your Seed Investor?
GVP is becoming the turn-to seed investor for Georgia’s best technologies and most aggressive entrepreneurs. Together we can build the next generation of successful life science companies. As we are a seed stage fund, contact us early in your capital formation so we can help you:

  • Network with Industry, Investor, and University Contacts. Because we have strong relationships within and outside the state, we can help connect our portfolio companies with private and public biotech partners, other private equity groups, and other strategic relationships.

  • Develop a Winning Corporate Strategy. We work together to take advantage of our individual areas of expertise coupled with outsourced services to assess management teams, intellectual property, the potential for new technologies, the dynamics of the marketplace, and the execution of business plans. We add value by providing core technical and general management expertise at each stage of the business development process. Some other venture capital firms, in contrast, use a single partner to evaluate the entire investment process.

  • Build Your Team. We can provide corporate governance at the board of directors’ level, initiate introductions to strategic partners and customers, assist in recruiting and interviewing management candidates, participate in executive committees and provide technical and financial guidance.

  • Build your foundation IP strategy. We realize that you most need IP guidance at the early stages when you can least afford it. We provide early input and strategy in our process that creates foundation value and avoids costly mistakes.

  • Succeed Right Here in Georgia. Being in the neighborhood allows us to help you grow your company, help you assess challenges and opportunities better, and help you sell your unique life sciences opportunity to investors from out of state.

  • Identify Corporate Partners or Acquisition Opportunities. In order to give Portfolio Companies the maximum number of potential sources of capital and exit strategies, we use our relationships with corporate partners to provide capital and product licensing and to potentially serve as partners or exit strategies.

  • Round Up Additional Investors. We have the connections to other private equity firms and strategic investors, both locally and globally, to ensure strong syndications for subsequent rounds of capital. We leverage these relationships to extend the reach of the Fund’s portfolio companies, as well as gain access to partnerships and additional funding sources from outside Georgia.
