KBL

KBL Healthcare Ventures was a healthcare-focused venture capital firm based in New York that invested in early-stage and emerging-growth companies across biopharmaceuticals, drug discovery, medical devices, healthcare services, and medical information technology. The firm was founded in 1991 and is most closely associated with founder and managing director Dr. Marlene Krauss. Rather than operating as a drug developer, KBL functioned as an investor and advisor, backing healthcare companies with experienced management teams and long-term value creation potential. Available secondary sources indicate the firm is inactive or liquidated today, although historical profiles continued to describe it as a healthcare-focused investment organization.
