Case studies

We’ve already helped several success stories get started. Here’s what our portfolio companies have said about us.

MONCYTE Health:

Revolutionizing cardiovascular diagnostics

MONCYTE Health develops innovative diagnostic technology to optimize treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease, the world’s leading cause of death. The company’s proprietary platform provides unique insights into cellular lipid processing, enabling pharmaceutical companies to better understand disease progression and the cardiovascular effects of their drugs. By targeting cellular mechanisms, MONCYTE Health aims to improve treatment outcomes and reduce cardiovascular risk more effectively.

”MONCYTE Health was looking for an early-stage life science investor that had specific knowledge in diagnostics and the ability to support our company going forward.

For us, it was important to secure capital, but it was equally important to have an investor with a good reputation, strategic vision, and good communication with whom we could work long term. Almaral is a founder-friendly and professional investor providing mentorship, advice, and excellent guidance in all aspects of the business. It has been a pleasure working with them.”
