Too many scientific breakthroughs are left on the laboratory bench instead of being translated into next-generation cancer treatments. This is largely due to the lack of seed funding for early-stage oncology startups, the so-called “Valley of Death” during which investment is too risky for traditional VCs and pharmaceutical companies.

AIM-HI Accelerator Fund bridges the gap from bench to bedside by providing the funding that others won’t. Moreover, we have inspired a broad network of co-investors who believe in our programs and invest in these early-stage oncology and STEM companies.

Our non-profit is the first of its kind to provide oncology startups with the resources they need to drive innovative discoveries forward, out of the lab, to the clinics, and eventually, to the people battling cancer, all while generating sustainable revenues for future cancer research and social impact innovation
