Allos invests in early-stage companies, augmenting the capital provided by founders and angel investors who have helped the companies reach a stage at which they have initial customers and are ready for their first institutional financing round. Allos believes an “engaged” approach to venture capital investing is critical to the success of these companies. The firm works closely with its partner companies to help them leverage the business-building skills and resources developed by their team, as well as those of their investors, most of whom are successful entrepreneurs themselves.
