    Description:

    Lightstone Ventures was founded in 2012 by the General Partners and other key members of the life science teams of Advanced Technology Ventures (ATV) and Morgenthaler. The firm was formed to capture the upside of investing in breakthrough life science companies during a time of unique opportunity in the space. Members of the Lightstone team have worked together on numerous new life science enterprises over the last decade. Members of the Lightstone team manage a portfolio of more than 50 medical device and biotechnology companies across the ATV and Morgenthaler legacy funds (Legacy Funds). Lightstone invests in early stage therapeutics, with later stage investments pursued selectively. The firm pursues a balance between investing in breakthrough medical device and novel biopharmaceutical companies that have the potential to change medicine.
