VENTURE DIGITAL HEALTH
With over 20 years of experience in the field, the Venture team is committed to be a long-term partner for the entrepreneurs. It has a good knowledge of international markets, particularly the North American market and contacts in major business centers, such as in Boston, where many of its portfolio companies are located. It provides global support to the management:
By investing in digital health, LBO France intends to contribute to the evolution of health systems, to therapeutic innovation and also to a better access to heath care. We, indeed, made a major decision to develop an CSR driven investment strategy.
Moreover, any venture activity in itself has ESG issues that we aim at identifying before any investment and then at assessing during the holding period. Because of the size of the relevant companies, we focus on regular contacts with management teams with possible minimal reporting on key items. Among others, specific attention will be brought to the relationships between founders, to human ressources (talent attraction and retention, work load, remote working, management style, disconnection, etc.) as well as to some digital communication risks (ethical behavior, data protection, etc.).
