Rockport Venture Partners is a unique private placement firm that specializes in raising private equity from a global network of European, Asian and U.S. institutional private equity, cross-over and hedge funds. Rockport clients are venture stage or publicly traded life science or healthcare IT companies seeking to leverage the strategic value of a globally diversified shareholder base.

Based on 50 years of combined private equity fund raising experience and participation in over 45 transactions, the Principals of Rockport have a wealth of experience, knowledge, and success in raising capital as well as an established reputation among all of the top European, Asian and U.S. life science institutional investors as a leading boutique investment banking firm.

Because raising capital is not the primary challenge for successful companies, Rockport clients do not turn to a traditional banker. Instead, companies engage with Rockport to target investors that understand the life science or healthcare IT sectors and that will provide differentiated strategic value complementary to that of the existing shareholders.

Institutional equity investors recognize that Rockport’s compelling global network and unique banking model attract a pipeline of high quality, closely syndicated opportunities backed by leading venture investors.

As a testament to the effectiveness of Rockport’s model, over the last five years the Principals have raised over $250 million for late stage transactions that have attracted over $525 million in demand. Rockport Venture Partners was founded in 2001.
