Investments

The Mark Foundation is committed to supporting promising cancer research throughout its development, helping translate scientific discoveries into breakthroughs that improve patients’ lives.

Through our venture investment program, we provide capital to companies pursuing rigorous research with the potential to transform cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. We typically make initial investments at the Seed, Series A, and Series B stages and continue to support our portfolio companies through follow-on investments and strategic and operational resources.

Our investment strategy has two complementary approaches: advancing promising discoveries from our research grant portfolio as they transition toward commercial development, and identifying external investment opportunities with significant scientific potential and a clear path toward improving cancer care.

All returns generated by our venture investments are reinvested in The Mark Foundation’s mission, helping fund future grants and investments in innovative cancer research. This approach creates a sustainable cycle of support, allowing successful investments to help fuel the next generation of scientific breakthroughs.  To learn more about venture investing at The Mark Foundation, please contact investments@themarkfoundation.org.
