UCeed Investment Advisory Groups

UCeed Advisors

Each UCeed Fund is supported by a group of advisors with a wealth of experience.

Investment Advisors

Each UCeed fund is backed by an Investment Advisory Group who review and advise on Fund investments. These advisors are hand-selected, experienced professionals with deep sector experience, proven leadership, and knowledge and experience in early-stage investing. Advisors provide mentorship, deep-rooted community connections, and critical support through the investment decision-making process and third-party validation.

Innovate Calgary is responsible for the management and operation of the UCeed Fund. With support from the Innovate Calgary management team, Investment Advisory Groups meet on a set schedule — as often as quarterly — to make recommendations and investment decisions. Discussions include:

Investments

What investments are to be made using monies from the fund and rationale for such recommendations. 

 

Considerations

Considerations regarding financial terms, risks, concerns, or other factors.

Key milestones

Key milestone activities for each investee company. 

Agreements

The general terms and conditions of the template funding agreements.

Clinical Advisory Board

The marketplace success of novel therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices, and other healthcare products often depends on nuanced factors that require frontline clinician feedback to assess. The Clinical Advisory Board (CAB) is a group of physician volunteers who leverage their networks to connect UCeed Health staff to frontline clinicians who provide feedback on the clinical utility and feasibility of healthcare products and services in development by prospective investee companies. We are deeply grateful for their valuable assistance.
