What they look for

AdAstral pursues a differentiated venture strategy centered on transformational, discovery, and translational science technologies with global human impact. They believe that solving the world's biggest challenges requires "moonshot thinking," which has the potential to deliver stellar financial returns alongside profound social impact. They explicitly look for disruptive, science-based technologies in human and planetary health, targeting innovations derived from significant research and development at academic or non-profit institutions. A core requirement is a "double bottom line"-startups must align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and utilize Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) methodologies.
