Innovation.
We are backing exceptional innovation early.
Since the year 2006, Advent-backed companies have brought fourteen innovative medicines and products to approval with our initial investment often being as early as Seed stage or Series A.
As the mid- and late-stage clinical pipelines of our portfolio companies continue to grow, this number looks set to increase each year.
