ExSight Ventures

ExSight Ventures is a venture capital firm specializing in early-stage investments in innovative ophthalmic diagnostic and treatment solutions. The firm was established to address the lack of early-stage funding in the life sciences sector, particularly within ophthalmology. Comprising two accomplished retinal surgeons and a team of investment professionals, ExSight Ventures focuses on biotechnology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and software solutions with ophthalmic applications.

The firm's investment strategy is centered on capital efficiency and deep domain expertise. By investing in pre-seed to Series B rounds, ExSight Ventures aims to generate substantial value at formative stages. Their specialization in ophthalmology allows for efficient analysis of early-stage risks and the ability to assist portfolio companies in focusing their pre-clinical and clinical efforts effectively. This approach differentiates them from larger funds that dominate healthcare venture capital.

ExSight Ventures' commitment to advancing innovation in eye care is evident through its investments in companies like DefEYE, Inc., which is developing decellularized placental-based tissue solutions for ocular surface disease and surgical management. This investment underscores ExSight Ventures' dedication to supporting transformative technologies that aim to preserve and restore vision.
