Forepont Capital, LLC, established in April 2019 and based in White Plains, NY, specializes in providing investment advisory services to venture capital investment vehicles. The firm manages two funds, including the Cayman Fund and the French Fund, focusing on equity deals in Pharma, Biotech, Life Sciences, and Technology sectors. Forepont emphasizes creating an ecosystem of high-growth startups with synergies and cross-selling opportunities.

With $81,974,938 in assets under management as of December 31, 2022, Forepont charges a 2% annual management fee based on total commitments. The firm's investment strategy involves identifying companies with strong intellectual property, efficient regulatory pathways, and potential for early exits. Clients are encouraged to conduct due diligence before investing, as venture capital investments entail high risk. Forepont has faced disciplinary action by the SEC for violations related to financial statement distribution and conflicts of interest, resulting in a $150,000 penalty. The firm exercises investment discretion, manages client assets with custody, and does not vote on public company proxies. Additionally, Forepont discloses potential conflicts of interest arising from affiliations with portfolio companies and personal investments in the same securities as client funds.
