Investment thesis
City Hill Ventures began as a healthcare-focused venture firm in San Diego and has expanded into cleantech and media & entertainment. It describes its team as 'venturepreneurs' who Found, Fund and Lead companies — sometimes founding new ventures around promising technologies, investing in companies with strong management, and taking active operational or advisory roles. The firm concentrates its capital and expertise on a small number of portfolio companies at a time, an approach it credits with generating outsized returns. It also makes passive investments alongside strong teams or syndicates, co-investing with leading healthcare investors. It operates two funds: a closed healthcare-only Fund I and an evergreen Fund II targeting industries capable of catalyzing global change.
