About Third Coast Healthcare Ventures
About Us
Texas is a burgeoning life science hub, but biotech and healthcare ventures outside of California and the East Coast often lose out on early-stage commercial capital. We aim to change that by funding and supporting Southwestern biotech and life science research and innovation.
Third Coast Healthcare Ventures makes early-stage capital investments in life science, biotech and healthcare startups in Texas and the wider region. We bring together experienced physician leadership with brilliant minds in healthcare finance and investment, so we know the science, what the market needs, and how to get it there.
Our roots run deep within the Texas and Southwestern biotech development ecosystem. Our support fuels transformative science and technologies that are being brought to market by the brightest minds in research and development.
Our portfolio pipeline runs through the best-of-the-best in healthcare innovation: entities such as UT Southwestern Medical School, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and top-tier universities. Some companies come to us as oncology-focused startups who have passed peer review and received a green light for funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. Others are developing non-oncology healthcare therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices and digital health innovations, and they come to us through our longstanding relationships with key institutions in their respective fields.
