Unique Strategy

Apjohn Ventures is one of the few venture firms in Michigan and in the Midwest with experience and focus in biotech investing within the life sciences sector. The Midwest region is rich with top tier universities, research centers, and hospitals, developing novel ideas for the next generation of medical solutions. Our team works in partnership with life sciences entrepreneurs to launch and grow successful companies. It takes more than money to build success, and we believe our unique added value comes from:
