Investment thesis

Juniper invests in the bioindustrial sector, backing non-pharma biotech companies building new categories in biology. The firm's writing emphasizes category creation as a driver of outsized fund returns, the intersection of AI and bioindustrial applications, protein sequencing platforms, the methane economy, and biotech applications in space. Juniper takes a deliberate approach to bioethics in non-pharma biotech and highlights alternative, non-dilutive funding models for science-based ventures. It also focuses on U.S. bioindustrial competitiveness and sovereignty.
