Barcelona-based Nina Capital has launched €50 million Fund III, increasing its total assets under management to over €100 million. The fund will back international healthcare startups with support from LPs like Seven Two Partners, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals across Europe and the US.
- Founded in 2019 by Dr. Marta G. Zanchi, Nina Capital is a venture capital firm focused on healthcare and technology. The firm supports early-stage companies across Europe, the US, Israel, and Canada, with ticket sizes ranging from €200,000 to €1.5 million, and can lead or co-invest in rounds.
- To date, Nina Capital has backed 51 companies through its two managed funds. The firm reports that over 80% of startups in Fund I successfully advanced from seed to the next stage, while Fund II companies experienced almost five times revenue growth within two years of their initial investment.
“Our mission is clear: to find and support the founders who are solving timely and compelling healthcare needs, blending technology innovation with sound business models built on a solid understanding of healthcare market incentives and constraints," claims Dr. Marta G. Zanchi, Founder and Managing Director at Nina Capital.
- The new fund will invest in 25 startups across Europe, North America, Israel, and Australia, from pre-seed to Series A, with investments ranging from €250,000 to €1.5 million, focusing on three key healthtech areas, including:
- Clinical innovation and Education: Advancing solutions in diagnostics, medical devices, and clinician training.
- Healthcare infrastructure: Optimizing data-driven processes in preclinical R&D, clinical trials, pharmaceutical logistics, and manufacturing.
- Clinical pathways and health data: Improving care delivery through tech-enabled services and operational efficiencies.
- Nina Capital Fund III has already invested in Sonar Mental Health, a US-based platform that supports students through AI and human-led care, with two more investments planned for early 2025.
- Fund III has received support from limited partners including Boston-based wealth management firm Seven Two Partners, professional family offices, foundations, corporations, and individuals across Europe and the United States.
