Frequently asked questions
What therapeutic areas does Negev Capital target?
Negev Capital is exclusively dedicated to central nervous system and brain health therapeutics. The firm invests in biotech companies developing treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions. This singular focus sets it apart from generalist life sciences investors who spread capital across oncology, rare disease, and other broader categories.
Which large pharmaceutical companies have acquired Negev Capital portfolio companies?
Publicly disclosed exits from the Negev Capital portfolio include acquisitions by AbbVie and Otsuka. AbbVie is a major biopharmaceutical company with significant neuroscience operations, while Otsuka is a Japanese pharmaceutical firm with a leading franchise in CNS and psychiatric medicine. These exits validate the fund's thesis that large pharma will pay a premium for de-risked CNS assets.
What stage of company does Negev Capital invest in?
Negev Capital invests at the early stage, spanning both seed and startup phases of company formation. The firm does not publicly detail whether these are drug-discovery targets or assets that have reached pre-clinical proof of concept. The strategy ultimately aims to hold positions until they become attractive to strategic acquirers.
