Portal Innovations invests in biotech and medtech startups from seed to Series A. We work with life sciences founders in each of our ecosystems to help them grow by providing physical, human, and financial capital.
Portal Innovations has two strategic investment vehicles to support member companies: Spark and LINK.
Spark investments are early-stage, strategic investments made by Portal in founders with breakthrough science and strong potential—often at the pre-seed stage. These investments aim to catalyze momentum.
LINK investments are in-kind investments that convert a portion of a company’s membership fees into equity, enabling access to Portal’s premium lab space, resources, and network. These investments are reserved for companies with compelling science and the potential for meaningful impact while helping them conserve cash and focus on growth.
We are honored to have Walder Ventures as the founding sponsor of Portal Innovations. Our organizations share a bold vision to accelerate ambitious thinking in biomedical innovation and create a thriving ecosystem to support life science entrepreneurs.
Inspired by Joseph Walder’s lifelong passion for scientific discovery, Walder’s support helps us provide capital, infrastructure, and expertise to high-potential startups developing breakthrough products to help patients.
