TVM Capital regroups with two specialist teams

The new healthcare private equity team invests growth capital and provides buy-out financing for growth-orientated small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, medtech and healthcare services industries. In conjunction with the new formation, the team has added Bernie Schuler, formerly a partner and head of healthcare at 3i in Frankfurt, where he built and led the European-dedicated healthcare team.

The life science venture team, headed by Hubert Birner and Alexandra Goll, will continue it multi-stage approach, spanning discovery and development-stage companies with a range of products, technology platforms, single drug development projects as well as investments in market-ready products in the pharmaceutical and medtech markets.

Helmut Schühsler, managing partner of TVM, said, "By building dedicated teams we can offer the best possible support as a financial and strategic partner to young science and technology driven companies as well as entrepreneurial, often family-owned mature companies in the healthcare industry."
