I went to medical school wanting to study science and develop a mastery in medicine so that I could help people. At RTW, we go beyond the ‘First Do No Harm’ of the Hippocratic Oath. We venture into new breakthrough areas of medicine and look to support companies working on truly revolutionary concepts. Companies can’t do it alone, and that’s where we come in bringing business expertise and financial backing to help them execute the impossible
