Viva BioInnovator
VC Fund · Shanghai, Shanghai, China · 2 investments in Switzerland Medical startups

Viva BioInnovator (VBI) is the specialized investment and incubation arm of Viva Biotech Holdings. We focus on the initial creation and development of biotech startups across all indications and drug types. During the early stages of drug discovery, we can nurture and accelerate a startup's growth from idea to clinical program. VBI'sunique investment and incubation model started out of necessity in 2014. Our roots are in drug discovery services, where we operate world-leading and proprietary drug discovery platforms. While serving big pharma customers from around the globe, we came to realize the huge demand from many entrepreneurs who have great ideas but cannot receive funding to advance their plan due to lack of data. We saw the value in many of these innovative ideas and provided our CRO drug discovery services, operational support, and monetary backing to help these creative scientists embark on the "0 to 1"​ transformation. This spark launched our "equity for service (EFS)"​ investment and incubation model. VBI is based in Shanghai, with an office in Boston and personnel in California. As of early 2019, VBI has invested in over 30 companies out of the hundreds of proposals submitted for review and we plan to invest at a rapid pace in the years to come. The majority of our current portfolio companies are US based, but we are open to proposals globally and are excited to see new ideas that fit our investment strategy. If you would like to learn more about us, please visit: www.vivabioinnovator.com Or send an email to innovation@vivabiotech.com If you would like to learn more about our parent company, Viva Biotech, please visit: www.vivabiotech.com

  • VYTAL — Start the Packaging Revolution! We are offering smart & reusable To-Go Packaging-as-a-Service to gastronomy clients & consumers.In Germany the consumption of take-away, convenience and delivery food & drinks is responsible for about 281 kilotons of single-use packaging waste for immediate consumption and is growing at double digitrates. Most of the time, To-Go food containers, snack boxes or coffee cups have a very short life-span of only 30 minutes after which they are tossed into trash (or litter parks, beaches & the ocean). This is not only a giant waste of economic resources as each single use costs between 15 and up to 0,60€ for a stable bowl/box with a lid. It is a horrendous waste of environmental resources (wood, water, crude oil, metals & energy) that are used to produce this packaging. Therefore, a single use packaging not weighing more than 30 grams can easily come with an ecological backpack of more than 8 kilograms when taking into account all the resources used in production (material intensities taken from Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy). Looking at GHG emissions, the picture is similarly bleak: Using CO2 emission factors and the detailed material mix of the single-use packaging waste analyzed by NABU (German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union), the 281 thousand tons waste from To-Go consumption generated around 556 thousand tons of CO2 or the equivalent of 195k passenger cars per year (assuming an average distance travelled of 15,000km). With the expected rise of take-away, convenience and delivery food, the related emissions are expected to increase at double digit rates as waste volume is expected to increase and as we saw a shift to plastics relative to cardboard or other materials. While there is a growing awareness of the problem, especially in Germany, there is no scalable solution yet and the commonly used alternative of nature-based & ‘biodegradable’ materials like bagasse or PLA also require many resources for production & transport, and have to be incinerated or go to landfill after use as there is currently no way to compost them.
