Partisan Management Group

Partisan Management Group is a highly successful, early-stage venture capital investor in medical device and drug delivery companies with an occasional investment in specialty pharmaceuticals. Partisan has sought differentiation from other venture groups in four distinct ways: -Partisan begins by identifying large, unmet medical needs before clinical and investment focus by others. Partisan often creates or licenses intellectual property and initially forms a wholly-owned new company. -Partisan selects a management team whom the principals strive to treat as partners for the duration of the investment. A cooperative working relationship is enhanced, enabling management to purchase large amounts of the founder's stock. -Partisan principals use their years of industry experience to integrate a new company's operational needs and its investment needs, often acting as senior officers as well as board members. Partisan typically provides the founding round of capital and then leads a seed round with its network of angel investors or selected venture firms.
