TriStar Health Partners is an early stage venture fund that focuses on forming and investing in companies in the area broadly defined as Healthcare Innovation: biotech, pharmaceuticals, personalized medicine, medical devices, healthcare IT and healthcare services. TriStar forms and invests in companies at the pre-seed/seed stage. Initial investments may range from $100,000 to $1,000,000, with a target total investment of between $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 over the life of the investment. TriStar's strategy has a specific focus on technologies and companies emerging from universities and research institutions. Once a business qualifies to receive investment funds, it may continue receiving funds so long as it continues to be headquartered and principally operated in Tennessee with at least 60% of its employees located in Tennessee. In 2012, the firm raised the TriStar Technology Fund II in order to expand investment opportunities beyond Tennessee.
