ARTICLE SUMMARY:
In this companion article to our feature "Fogarty Innovation: Alliances and Education," Santé Managing Director James Eadie speaks about his firm’s close relationship with FI.
Although in no real sense of the term an incubator itself, Austin-based VC firm Santé Ventures is, among investors, a natural partner for Fogarty Innovation, given Santé’s focus not just on early-stage investment but also on identifying opportunities at the idea stage. Santé Managing Director James Eadie, MD, describes FI as a “kindred spirit,” explaining, “I think we share a focus on developing early-stage technology,” working with teams, trying to navigate the process of building something that is “really just an idea, but has the potential to become a great company.”
