Arboretum Ventures is a venture capital firm specializing in the healthcare sector.

We invest in companies that improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare system costs across medical devices, life science tools and diagnostics, and tech-enabled care delivery. We target opportunities that can achieve significant milestones and value creation in a capital-efficient manner and prioritize “under-ventured” geographies, particularly the Midwest.
