Medica generally employs three models of investment activity:
  • Investment in Existing Companies
    Medica invests in existing companies with proven technologies, with most of the management in place. This is a model which describes most of the investments. Medica will lead or co-invest in such situations with other funds, offering post investment activity such as assistance in design and execution of business, corporate and financial strategies as board members. Medica will assist its portfolio companies by linking them with international strategic business partners, and will support and generate exit strategies.
  • Company Founding
    Medica is intimately linked to many university researchers and potential entrepreneurs in the pharma/bio and device areas. In cases where an exciting breakthrough technology has been identified and a low probability of company establishment by the inventors exists, Medica may initiate the new corporate identity on its own, investing and managing companies for a limited amount of time, until pre-defined R&D goals are met. At this stage professional management is recruited and the first round of outside financing is raised.
  • International Matchmaking
    Medica seeks to promote mergers between companies, as new investment opportunities, where it has identified a synergy potential. Medica will act as the initiator and merger facilitator and as a lead investor in the new company.
