Our strategy
At Rosetrees the heart of our mission is to support ambitious researchers aiming to improve healthcare by challenging uncharted scientific territories. We use a venture philanthropy approach to promote new ideas. We don’t limit ourselves to a specific disease area since we seek a healthier future for everybody. Our vision for innovation in healthcare spans across diagnostics, treatments, cures, and prevention since we believe in the potential to innovate all aspect of healthcare delivery
Rosetrees supports researchers who create new ideas and treatments to bring early patient benefit. We believe that having this impact can stem from a variety of projects from small seedcorn grants exploring proof-of-principle concepts to larger project grants testing established ideas capable of translational potential.
For many years, Rosetrees has partnered with co-donors who share our vision to support cutting edge medical research at leading institutions. This has allowed us to invest in more people and support a wider diversity of projects. As the Rosetrees reputation for funding the best research has grown, more and more co-donors have joined our mission to improve health and fight disease (at no cost to our partners).
Rosetrees is passionate about supporting the best younger or older minds who we believe can become great innovators or leaders in the future. That’s why we’ve funded many early career researchers who have original ideas, helping then climb the career ladder, often to a point where they are running their own teams or labs and applying for major grants from large funding bodies. A measure of our success in picking the right people and projects to support is that they have leveraged more than £1 billion in follow-on funding.
