About Us

We are a founder-led, independent investment platform dedicated to healthcare innovation, investing in a high-conviction approach across Europe. Our expertise is based on our complementary experience in healthcare investing over the last decades, from early-stage VC to growth buyout PE. We move fast and support founders beyond capital.

YZR, pronounced [‘waizər], is inspired by a fusion of ‘wise’ and the river Isar — symbolizing both our deep roots in Munich, at the heart of Europe, and our philosophy of investing with clarity, conviction, and long-term vision.
