JDRF T1D Fund

About JDRF T1D Fund

We accelerate the life-changing solutions to cure, prevent and treat type 1 diabetes (T1D) through catalytic equity investments. Our aim is to create a new investment market aimed at delivering solutions to those living with or at risk of developing T1D. It’s the first scale, mission-driven venture philanthropy fund focused on equity investments in companies developing T1D products. As a venture philanthropy fund, we approach investment opportunities slightly differently than either a venture capital fund or a non-profit organization: -First, we evaluate if the investment opportunity is in line with our mission: accelerating life-changing solutions to cure, prevent, and treat type 1 diabetes (T1D) through catalytic equity investments. -Second, we look at the likelihood of attracting other investors needed to deliver a product to the market.
