## Investment thesis

Hillman Ventures concentrates personal capital on therapeutic platforms with deep biological rationale and credible paths through U.S. FDA biologics frameworks. Three priorities:

- Inflammation. Modulating chronic and acute inflammatory cascades through biologics, exosome science, and small-molecule pathways.
- Damaged Tissue. Regenerative therapies for musculoskeletal injury, degenerative disc disease, post-surgical recovery, and orthobiologic indications.
- Tumor-Based Cancers. Targeted oncology platforms with novel mechanisms of action, including osmotic lysis, immunomodulation, and tumor-microenvironment disruption.

## Approach

- Long horizon. Investments held for clinical and regulatory cycles, not exit windows.
- Founder aligned. Concentrated check sizes with deep founder relationships.
- Regulatory fluent. Pathway analysis (351a vs 361, RMAT, 510k, Pre-IND Type B) is foundational.
- CMC rigorous. Manufacturing standards, certificate of analysis, and process scalability evaluated up front.
- Quietly involved. Help with regulatory questions, CMC strategy, and litigation defense. No branding of portfolio companies.
