Jeito Capital is a rapidly growing, independent Private Equity firm dedicated to biotech and biopharma. Its first fund, Jeito I, is the largest European fund dedicated to supporting companies in the life sciences sector. The Company is building a strong and diversified portfolio of biotech and biopharma companies primarily based in Europe with global reach, focused on the treatment of life-threatening diseases. Jeito’s unique investment model provides support to entrepreneurs by a multi-talented team of experts integrated into the investment team across the entire drug development value chain, from translational science to market access and commercialization, with significant capital in continuity, up to €80 million ($100 million) in a single company.
Jeito I investments to date include French-based SparingVision and InnoSkel, in the fields of genomic ophthalmology and rare skeletal disorders, respectively, Dutch biotech Neogene Therapeutics in solid tumors, UK-based Pulmocide in severe respiratory diseases, and Swiss-French Alentis Therapeutics in fibrosis and related cancers.
“Throughout our time working with Jeito Capital, we have enjoyed seeing the firm rapidly grow and expand its impact in European biotech. This latest fund closing is a testament to not only Jeito’s unique investment model, but the incredibly hard work of the entire Jeito team. We would like to congratulate Rafaèle and the team at Jeito on this successful fundraise and we look forward to continuing to work with them as they innovate and invest to make a difference for patients and other key stakeholders within the life sciences sector.”
