VENTUREBLICK MEDICAL ADVISORY

Healthcare innovation is fraught with uncertainties. Startups must navigate the protracted process from ideation to launch, which makes it difficult to accurately evaluate their risk/reward profiles. Clearly, there is a gap in how early-stage healthcare startups are evaluated, funded, and incubated.

Case Studies

  • Overview
    To be listed on VentureBlick’s investment platform, a startup must pass VentureBlick’s internal selection and vetting process, clear due diligence checks, then receive medical validation from the VB Advisory Network. Each successful startup is listed on VentureBlick’s investment platform for a fundraising period of two months. The investment opportunity will be introduced to medical investors first and their validation enhances the credibility for general investors to follow. The minimum investment quantum for medical investors is US$10,000 and the minimum investment quantum for general investors is US$20,000. The minimum threshold to declare the success of fundraising is subject to the fundraising target of each startup, but a rule of thumb is that a startup will need to reach at least 50% of its target or a minimum of US$200,000, whichever is lower, by the end of two months.
  • Investment Vehicles
    Startups that are listed on VentureBlick’s investment platform can offer different securities to investors. The common ones are: Direct equity: The startup offers its shares to investors, which translates to direct ownership in the company itself Convertible note: A form of debt where the current loan is converted into equity later – with a predetermined interest rate and maturity date https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convertible_bond SAFE note: A simpler form of convertible note that also converts into equity at a later date, but with simpler terms and neither payable interest nor a fixed maturity date https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_agreement_for_future_equity
  • Accepted Currencies
    Fundraising targets for startups are denominated in US dollars. Investors, however, can make their investments in either US dollars or Singapore dollars. For the latter, we will provide the relevant foreign exchange rate based on the bank rates at the time of the investment. Additional options are being explored.
  • Fees
    VentureBlick charges a one-time Management Fee of 5% on the net amount invested. This will finance the costs of operating the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), which acts as the interface between the startup and its investors. The fee covers operations for the SPV’s entire lifecycle. VentureBlick will also deduct a fee of 10% of your net profits upon a startup’s exit event, if the value of your investment at exit is higher than the initial gross amount invested. The SPV will retain 10% of your net profits, then pay out the balance of your holdings to you.
  • Additional Scenarios
    If a startup is listed but does not meet the minimum funding target, then its fundraising with VentureBlick is considered unsuccessful. In such a scenario, investors will be refunded their investments – including the Management Fee – minus any third-party bank charges. If a round is oversubscribed and the startup receives more than 100% of its funding target, VentureBlick will negotiate with the startup on behalf of investors to secure the best overall deal for investors.
  • Exit Event
    Also known as a liquidity event, an exit event occurs when shareholders in a startup cash out some or all of their equity in the company. In angel investing, the exit event is an important milestone for investors as it lets them realise their investments’. Exit events typically involve two scenarios. The first is an acquisition by another company, such as a larger player within the industry. The second is an Initial Public Offering (IPO), where the company goes public and lists its shares for trading on a stock exchange.
