Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at ScienceVest?
ScienceVest’s website identifies Javier Loya and Ramphis M. Castro as the principals, listing their email addresses as primary contact points. No other named team members, board structures, or investment committees are disclosed. As a result, the full decision-making process remains opaque to external allocators.
What investment stages does ScienceVest typically target?
ScienceVest focuses on early-stage seed rounds, per its Altss research classification and portfolio composition. Its publicly highlighted companies — such as Avro Lifescience (a drug-delivery patch startup) and GreenSight (drone automation) — align with pre-revenue or early-commercialization science-based ventures.
Does ScienceVest participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The public materials reference only direct investments. ScienceVest does not list any fund-of-funds activity, co-investment vehicles, or SPV programs. The roughly 125 investments the firm claims appear to be direct company stakes.
