Freeflow Ventures

Very excited to announce our most recent funds and our first investment in the Berkeley ecosystem. For the last two years, we have been building relationships with the scientists, founders and leadership in Berkeley, right in my backyard. Berkeley has many similarities to Caltech and the research coming out of there aligns with our Human and Planetary Health focus.

We're pleased to share the recent announcement that Freeflow has raised $50M across two new funds for human and planetary health investments, bringing our total assets under management to $90M. The new funds enable us to expand our model to Berkeley where we've made our first investment with CatenaBio. Catena's technology enables multiple payload capabilities for cancer treatment that can significantly improve patient outcomes.

Last month, we brought back our Founder Sessions series to feature Mitico, a Freeflow Fund Two portfolio company spun out of Caltech that offers a scalable, cost-effective and integrated solution for mass mitigation of industrial carbon emissions. The talk was led by Clément Cid Mitico CEO and co-founder. Filmed from the Mitico lab in Los Angeles on April 30, it’s a great window into a company introducing technology that can dramatically reduce point source carbon emissions as we transition to clean sources of energy. You can find the discussion here:    https://lnkd.in/gjfsRhTs

Please join us for our next Founder Session on Tuesday April 30th to learn more about Mitico, a carbon mitigation company working to dramatically reduce industrial point source emissions. We'll hear from Mitico CEO and co-founder Clément Cid about the company's origins at Caltech and their mission to lower emission impacts on people and the climate.

It's been great to see more attention on the growing shift toward the patient scientist and ImYoo playing a key role in it. Precision medicine can only get smarter and move faster when patients can easily share data with researchers and clinicians. Read more on the ImYoo blog. https://lnkd.in/gMj-d-EG

We're excited to bring back our Founder Sessions to feature Tatyana Dobreva and David Brown of ImYoo. They'll share their journey from Caltech to scaling their patient-enabled biodiscovery platform. We invite you to learn more about the company and please join us!

There is growing consensus that human impact on the environment has placed our planet into a new geological period of time called the Anthropocene. In this blog post from Operating Partner Stephen Roy, we cover the forces guiding our investments in planetary health while featuring portfolio companies Hydrosat and Captura. https://lnkd.in/gat4m-gZ
