WHY WE EXIST

We founded SX2 Ventures because it best reflects who we are personally and professionally. We leverage our experience as business builders, investors and professionals to support innovation and create long-term value in the human care sector.

Our sector mandate is exclusive to four human care themes:
  • Life sciences, with a focus on nutraceuticals
  • Longevity
  • Specialized care including eldercare, mental illness and end-of-life care
  • Emerging market healthcare solutions
We take a non-traditional approach to venture investing:
  •  We prioritize long-term capital growth over annualized return
  •  We look at value creation from the perspective of business builders more than investors. Where we see a market trend or theme that warrants investment, we are happy to build the business ourselves if we cannot find the right company to support
  •  We do not follow traditional venture capital performance benchmarks and insist that all of our projects create value across three dimensions: financial, experiential and benefit to humankind

Whilst our projects must benefit humankind, we are not interested in well-intentioned projects that are not financially rewarding or sustainable. But we also reject the notion that there is a fundamental conflict between these outcomes – that if a project adds value to society, there has to be some sort of financial trade-off. In fact, partly because of the overall human care theme of our mandate, we see opportunities to “trade-on”.
