Bloomington, Minnesota, United States

SightLine Partners LLC is a Bloomington, Minnesota healthcare investment manager and SEC-registered adviser, CRD162629 and SEC801-80007. It became independent in 2004 by acquiring the healthcare venture-capital operations of Piper Jaffray, whose venture platform began in 1992. SightLine manages special-situation healthcare funds, investing in private medical technology, diagnostics and life-sciences businesses and providing secondary liquidity to existing investors. It co-led Monteris Medical’s 2017 Series C financing for MRI-guided neurosurgical laser ablation. Its fully sold Healthcare Opportunity Fund II reported USD107,359,422 in aggregate across the main and parallel issuers in August2013. 10K Lakes Capital LLC is a separately identified sister company and relying adviser under SightLine’s SEC umbrella, formed in 2020; the SightLine domain now redirects to its shared public website. Shared biographies and regulatory filings support six current SightLine affiliations. The website’s separate 10K Lakes roles are qualified accordingly, and are not presumed SightLine employment. Historical fund holdings, aggregate firm commitments and current AUM are distinct from new operating-company fundraising.
