Crista Galli Ventures: Funding, Team & Investors

Crista Galli Ventures operates as a specialist healthtech fund, investing in early-stage European startups. The firm focuses on deep tech, utilizing AI/ML in healthcare; digital health, with B2B/B2C patient solutions; and personalized medicine, integrating technology with genomics and microbiomes. This approach injects significant healthcare expertise into venture capital.

Dr. Fiona Pathiraja, a former NHS consultant radiologist, founded the firm in 2019 and serves as Managing Partner. Her insight centered on combining deep healthcare expertise with patient capital.
