  • Meridian Health Ventures I—

    Transatlantic early-stage health technology fund announced in May 2025, connecting UK clinical adoption with US expansion. The manager reported over USD 40 million committed; this lower bound is not an exact fund size. Its USD 50 million-plus headline covers both managed funds.

  • Innovations in Mental Health Fund—

    Mental health technology venture fund launched in October 2024, with Wellcome as anchor investor and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust as a partner. It backs clinically focused technologies addressing depression, anxiety and psychosis and operates an immersion programme. Programme admission alone does not establish an investment. An exact closed fund size is undisclosed in the cited manager release.
