Identifying potentially disruptive life sciences and healthcare companies within a sea of less compelling opportunities.

The Rapha Capital Mission is to use our unique abilities to identify those companies that we believe will go on to profoundly improve peoples’ lives while building great value, from a sea of seemingly indistinguishable, less compelling, opportunities.

In Rapha Capital PE Life Sciences Fund VI, LP, our new Private Equity fund, we plan to maintain our focus on identifying great value in these times of market disruption in the life sciences and healthcare arena to add investments in mid- and later- stage companies in which we can be transformative.

Our Edge

Rapha Capital Management’s Founder, Dr. Kevin Slawin, has a unique mix of experience as a robotic oncologic surgeon, academician, basic and clinical researcher, inventor, entrepreneur, biotech founder and investor, as well as public biotech operator. This enables him to sift through the myriad of early-stage biotech investment opportunities to ”bend the curve” towards a higher success rate than is typically seen in this category and stage of investments.

Furthermore, Dr. Slawin’s previous experience founding, growing and operating the Vanguard Urologic Institute in the Texas Medical Center, and his deep experience as a clinician treating patients with the most difficult problems in urologic oncology has given him the skills needed to evaluate investment opportunities in the healthcare space with a broad insight into their potential commercial success.

Adding to this expertise, RNA Advisors has worked with a large number of biotech, medtech, healthcare IT, and healthcare services firms over the years. They have worked with operators and investors of healthcare services firms e.g., dialysis centers, hospitals, assisted living facilities, SNFs, oncology practices, dentist offices, and others, in addition to the product developers that sell products used by such services firms.

Investment Philosophy and Strategy

Rapha Capital Management, the Investment Manager is focused on identifying and growing revolutionary and disruptive ideas in medicine, healthcare, and biotechnology, before others can see their value. The Partnership executes its investment strategy by making equity and debt investments in both privately held companies at early, mid- and late-stage, and in some cases, public companies, that RCM believes have developed a transformative product, technology, or process that will drive medium- and long-term value creation for shareholders. The Partnership will invest primarily in U.S. companies
