Led by Fredrik Debong, bringing operator know-how and deep networks to the table via his successful ventures in diabetes care, fintech, and innovation management.
As a serial entrepreneur and angel investor, his work has impacted millions, and Nineteen Twenty-One is leveraging this experience to invest in and support companies realising life changing solutions in areas related to type 1 diabetes.
Simple.
Make type 1 diabetes and all it carries with it suck less.
How hard can it be!? :P
Invest in life changing, early stage companies making it happen.
Make the companies part of the T1D-community,
and the community part of the companies.
Be the smartest money in T1D.
Work together.
Always bring the community in.
Invest early, fast and globally.
Be lean and transparent.
No squeezing, be a bud.
You help, you get.
One does not do diabetes alone. One does not help companies on ones own. Our approach to taking on diabetes care challenges, and delivering a return to limited partners, is by working with/in a global network of industry professionals, clinicians, patients, researchers, policymakers, angels, savants, GP's of huge VC funds, bankers, grass root advocates and leaders of global policy organisations. Most of us live with T1D.
We'd be honoured to speak with you, thanks for focusing on our area of passion!
There are a few things to keep in mind, on both our ends, that we hope you understand and mind:
– We invest in companies addressing type 1 diabetes and the stuff that kills us
– It is your company, we are here to help you grow it like crazy
– We buy our way into being able to help you make decisions
– Some stuff is simply out there, we like that
– We do first money in, up to select series A's
– The fund is not huge
– We invest €200k-1.5M
– We do our first checks in companies during 2025-2027, then only follow on
– We must invest 70% of our capital in EU
– Time is short, an intro through shared friends helps.
– We have not yet raised the whole fund, work in progress
If you find this specialist fund focused on T1D looks good, let's meet up.
Before we can go really deep, we also need to make sure that we CAN work together. See we can only invest for accredited, risk aware and sophisticated investors. It's the law.
