Clarium Capital Management

Clarium Capital Management is an American investment management firm and hedge fund founded in 2002 by Peter Thiel. The firm primarily follows a global macro strategy, focusing on long-term trends in technology, energy, and geopolitics. While it gained significant prominence for its early success and contrarian bets, the firm saw a substantial decline in assets under management following the 2008 financial crisis. Clarium is known for its thematic approach to investing, often targeting sectors with high growth potential or significant structural shifts. Although not a life sciences company itself, its founder and the firm have been influential in the venture capital and investment landscape for technology and biotechnology startups.
