sciences sector. We invest in companies across the United
States leveraging world-renowned resources in Texas to

opportunities, and life-saving change. The Firm has the
benefit of the direct experience and support of the research
institutions, academic centers, foundations, family offices,

century have been investing in and building sustainable,
successful companies in healthcare, energy, finance,
telecommunications, information technology, agriculture, and
real estate.
