About Us

We are private investors who have backed some of the most influential ventures in technology and healthcare.

Our firm is the legacy Mr. Spencer Trask, the financier who backed Thomas Edison. Their partnership literally electrified the world and powered a century of innovation. Modern day Spencer Trask has the same entrepreneurial DNA. We are often among the first to recognize visionary new ideas that have a profound impact, such as:

Evidence-Based Medicine – Health Dialog
Mobile Telecom – Vodafone
Genomics – Myriad Genetics
Optical Networking – Ciena
Stem Cell Therapy – Osiris Therapeutics
