Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Polymerase Capital?

Founder and Managing Director Thomas Chalberg, Ph.D., leads investment decisions. Chalberg is a scientist by training with operating experience as co-founder of Genascence, a gene therapy company targeting osteoarthritis. His investment decisions are informed by this deep domain expertise in molecular biology and clinical development.

Does Polymerase Capital participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

The firm's known activity centers on direct venture investments rather than fund-of-fund commitments. Its co-investment relationships are deal-specific—partnering with entities like DeepWork Capital on Genascence—rather than LP positions in blind-pool venture funds.
