Amanda Gett is a trained immunologist with a PhD who worked in Global Business Development and Strategy at Roche before becoming a venture capital investor, giving her an unusual combination of deep scientific expertise and inside knowledge of how big pharma evaluates partnerships and acquisitions. At Kurma Partners, she focuses on building biotech companies from scratch through a structured approach that includes spinning out academic research, reviving deprioritized pharma assets, and working with their venture studio ArgoBio to create new companies rather than just investing in existing teams.
About their Fund
Kurma Partners operates two specialized healthcare franchises under one roof—Kurma Biofund for therapeutics and biotech company creation from academic labs, and Kurma Diagnostics for diagnostics and digital health—while offering a full innovation-to-growth continuum through its dedicated Growth Opportunities Fund that continues financing promising portfolio companies into scale-up rounds. The firm has built a systematic company-creation engine with major European research institutes like Institut Pasteur and VIB, spinning out academic research into venture-backed companies and providing portfolio companies with operational support through strategic partnerships like its alliance with Samsung Biologics for development and manufacturing capabilities.
