Investment thesis

Aditum Bio pursues an alternative, patient-driven model of drug development aimed at identifying promising, clinic-ready therapies for underserved patient populations in areas such as obesity, depression, substance abuse, renal disease, and infectious diseases. Many drug candidates go undeveloped due to strategic decisions and high clinical trial costs, and the firm seeks to fill that gap. Using in-house R&D domain experts as the foundation of an agile operating model, it accelerates the formation and ramp-up of portfolio companies, augmenting dedicated leadership teams with medical and scientific experts. The firm leverages technology and partnerships to execute clinical trials efficiently, advancing acquired drug candidates into Phase 2 more quickly and at lower cost.
