Wendye Robbins
CEO, Blade Therapeutics
I first met the OneVentures team in July 2018. They quickly impressed me with their broad knowledge and capabilities.
Shortly afterwards, they led Blade Therapeutics‘ Series C round. It has been a pleasure to build the company with the support of Paul, Sarah, Michelle, and Gabriel, and their LP’s over the past 3 years. The fund is a true value add investor with deep connections to academic institutions and opinion leaders.
