naturalX Health Ventures is the €100mio VC arm of Schwabe Group for its investments in innovative, young companies as well as relevant VC funds.
We are flexible and can invest from seed to late stage. Our focus lies on Series A and Series B investments, where strong signs of product-market fit can be shown. 
We invest into consumer healthcare and are particularly excited about mental health as well as proactive health, including sleep, nootropics, nutrition, prevention & longevity, bio-hacking, consumer diagnostics and more. We do not invest into biotech or medtech at this stage.
Schwabe Group, our parent company, is a global leader in plant-based pharmaceuticals with about €950 million in revenue mainly across Europe and North America.
The aim of investing is to combine the growth potential of young, innovative companies with the financial strength and access to different expertise of our parent company. We are a strategic-financial investor.

I was honored to participate in the inaugural Lakestar Healthcare Symposium last week, alongside 50 esteemed entrepreneurs, regulators, and investors from the healthcare industry, including former Minsters of Health Jens Spahn, Dr. Philipp Rösler, and Daniel Bahr. Many thanks to Oliver Heimes for the invitation.

Held at the Berlin Museum of Medical History at the Charité in Berlin, the symposium provided sharp and thought-provoking insights about the German political landscape and the state of digitisation in healthcare.

One key takeaway for me was the perspective of insurers on prevention. While many envision a transition from sick care to healthcare, the reallocating funds from disease treatment to prevention (and longevity), insurers remain skeptical on this topic.

For insurers, the financial equation must make sense. Does a customer truly cost less if they engage in preventative care? Or does an increase in lifespan result in higher costs? Perhaps, ironically, the most profitable scenario is a customer who lives unhealthily and passes away prematurely...

For the April edition of Longevity Wednesdays, we brought together a stellar lineup of scientists, entrepreneurs, and investors in the longevity space for an invite-only dinner just outside Lisbon, sponsored by naturalX Health Ventures.

With the vision of fostering a vibrant community in Lisbon, Nina Patrick, PhD, Michele Gallia, and I launched Longevity Wednesdays last year. Our aim? To connect like-minded professionals passionate about advancing the field of longevity. Stay tuned for more exciting events to come! #Longevity #Lisbon 

Thank you everyone for coming!
