“Biopharma venture capital is an enterprise in risk management that demands rigor, diligence and patience,” Cure Ventures co-founder and managing partner Richard Lim said in a statement. “At Cure, we aren’t just signing a check. We are committed to working closely with founders to collaborate and operationalize capital, making us a true sweat equity partner. We look forward to sharing more about our investments in the near future.”

In addition to Lim, the firm’s founders include managing partners David Fallace and Lou Tartaglia.

Cure Ventures was founded in 2021. It makes early-stage investments in life sciences and biotechnology, primarily focused in new therapeutics.

“We founded Cure with a grand ambition: to eradicate life-debilitating and life-ending diseases with curative technologies,” Fallace said. “We know it is people who drive the development of therapeutics that change patients’ lives, not capital.”
