Investment business HealthKois, which focuses on healthcare, has launched with a $300 million target corpus and a $100 million green shoe option.
Leading HealthQuad’s founding team, which consists of Dr. Pinak Shrikhande (Partner), Ajay Mahipal (Partner), and Charles Janssen (Managing Partner), HealthKois will invest in early-stage healthcare businesses in the fields of healthtech, life sciences, medtech, healthcare delivery, and climate health.
Over the next four years, the fund intends to invest $7 million to $25 million each startup, with an emphasis on companies that have demonstrated clinical outcomes, scalable operations, and sustainable infrastructure models.
“HealthKois will support healthcare enterprises addressing gaps in access, affordability, and quality,” said Charles Janssen. “With access to over 75% proprietary deal flow, we are positioned to deliver both financial returns and real-world health impact.”
With a hands-on, founder-first strategy, HealthKois will provide funding in addition to strategic direction, assistance with market expansion, and governance planning. With operations in Asia and Europe, the firm’s team has over 100 years of combined experience in clinical care, operations, and healthcare investing.
HealthKois continues the achievements of HealthQuad Funds I and II, which serve over 8 million patients a year and are said to have influenced over 90 million lives.
