SV Life Sciences

ORIGINAL: SV Life Sciences

SV Life Sciences is a leading international life sciences venture capital firm. SVLS affiliated funds have been investing in life sciences companies since the early 1980s and the firm closed its first dedicated life sciences fund in 1994.

The SVLS team manages five private venture capital funds with approximately $2.0 billion of capital under management. The firm employs a diversified strategy within life sciences in order to selectively capitalize on an expanding opportunity in biotech, medical devices and health-care services. SVLS has offices in Boston, London and San Francisco.

SVLS was started in London as Schroder Ventures Life Sciences in 1993 as part of the Schroder Ventures Group. SVLS became independent of the Schroder Ventures Group in 2001, and in January 2005 changed its name to SV Life Sciences to reflect independent ownership.
