De Rubertis's reputation for halving the time it takes for a return on biotech investments has Silicon Valley eager to get in on a $300 million fund he's raised for late-stage startups.
Medicxi Growth 1, which made its first investments in health care and diabetes treatments, is taking minority stakes in companies that are developing multiple therapies, have full management teams, and intend to go public as independent businesses.
This is a departure for De Rubertis.
He has focused on “skinny” startups—with small management teams and only one therapy—that can integrate into larger companies after being bought.
The shift hasn't diminished interest in the fund.
Verily, Alphabet Inc.’s life-sciences arm, has also invested in MG-1
