Why JSK VC fund exists

The biggest opportunities are often hidden inside the world’s hardest problems. Healthcare systems are under pressure, demographics are changing, and technology is reshaping what is possible.

Exceptional companies are built where deep human needs meet breakthrough innovation. This is where we see the future. 

Investment strategy & focus areas

We invest where technology can fundamentally improve how the world works and how people live.

Health

Healthtech, medtech, femtech, mental health, agetech and animal health. We back companies improving how care is accessed, delivered, measured and scaled through technology.

Sparkle

Applied Frontier Technology

Applied AI, deep tech, robotics, quantum applications, climate technologies solving high-value real-world problems.

We are not generalists. We invest selectively in sectors where we have expertise, strong conviction and the ability to create value beyond capital. Outside our core focus, we pursue only exceptional opportunities with a clear strategic fit and a credible path to global scale.

How we invest

Conviction over volume.
Partnership over ownership.

We believe the best venture investments are built on conviction, not volume.

We invest early, stay selective and build concentrated portfolios around exceptional founders solving meaningful problems.
Our role does not end with capital.

We support companies through strategic milestones, fundraising, international expansion and access to the right network.

We work both as lead and co-investors and believe that strong syndicates create stronger companies. We believe long-term partnerships create long-term value.

Andromeda Surgcal

Surgery saves lives, but access to it remains deeply unequal. A shortage of trained surgeons, high procedure costs, and variability in outcomes are challenges facing surgery around the world today. Andromeda Surgical is developing a next-generation autonomous robotic surgical system that is redefining the paradigm of minimally invasive surgery - from a tool in the hands of a surgeon to an intelligent platform capable of operating independently.

The project was born from the personal and professional motivation of two inspiring women who, based on their own experiences, developed a technology that enables fast, comfortable, and accurate diagnostics.
