This ven­ture play­er is plot­ting $200M in new biotech in­vest­ing — and they’re dou­bling down on a start­up-rich strat­e­gy

Eight years ago, the part­ners at Hat­teras Ven­ture Part­ners re­served 20% of their fund for seed-stage plays. The im­pact of se­quenc­ing was spread­ing, dri­ving a trend to­ward more tar­get­ed drugs. And out of that ini­tia­tive came G1 Ther­a­peu­tics $GTHX and a num­ber of oth­er biotechs that have con­tin­ued down their own paths.  

“I think we were prob­a­bly ahead of our time when we launched that,” says Clay Thorp, Hat­teras co-founder and GP. “We’re re­al­ly pleased with the resur­gence in seed and ear­ly-stage com­pa­nies.”
