November 06, 2023

Munich, Germany - Wellington Partners, a leading European venture capital firm investing in early- and growth-stage life science companies, today announced the promotion of Dr. Johannes Fischer and Dr. Varun Gupta to Partner, effective immediately.

Johannes joined Wellington in 2020 supporting the firm’s existing medical device and digital health portfolio. For the past years, he has been the driving force behind Wellington’s renewed strategy in digital health and increasing activity in the cross-sections of traditional healthcare and medical research. He has been instrumental to the investments and ongoing management of several portfolio companies including Sidekick Health, aignostics, MMI and nyra health. Johannes began his professional career as consultant at the life sciences practice of L.E.K. Consulting, where he managed and executed numerous market access, performance enhancement and M&A projects for life science companies. He holds an MSc in Biochemistry, a PhD in Biotechnology and a Medical Doctorate from Technical University, Munich.

Varun has been an integral part of Wellington’s investment team since 2018. He has taken a leading role in defining the firm’s early-stage investment strategy in biotech and has spearheaded the active deal sourcing in the DACH region. Over the past few years, Varun has led the investments in and supported several biopharma portfolio companies, including Dunad Therapeutics, Seamless Therapeutics, Confo Therapeutics, STipe Therapeutics and MinervaX. Prior to joining Wellington, Varun interned at Ysios Capital in Barcelona and assisted the investment team at Forbion in Amsterdam/Naarden. He was awarded a PhD with summa cum laude in Neuroscience from the Free University of Berlin and holds an MBA from IESE Business School in Barcelona.

Regina Hodits, Managing Partner of Wellington Partners, commented: “We are grateful for Johannes and Varun’s significant contribution during the past years. Their efforts have been critical in expanding our investment activities to new areas like targeted protein degradation and digital care and rehabilitation, which we believe will significantly impact patients’ lives in the future. Their profiles have proven to perfectly complement the investment efforts at Wellington Partners.”

Rainer Strohmenger, Managing Partner of Wellington Partners, commented: “Since joining Wellington, Johannes and Varun have rapidly developed to become valuable members of our Life Sciences focused team and internationally recognized investment professionals in our industry. We congratulate them on the well-deserved promotion to Partner.”
