“We invest in life”
Peter Bramlage studied human medicine at Justus Liebig University Giessen, the University of Vienna (Austria) and Columbia University (Missouri, USA). He earned his doctorate at the Max Planck Institute for Physiological and Clinical Research in Bad Nauheim and completed his habilitation at the Dresden University of Technology.
For more than 20 years, Peter Bramlage has been active as an entrepreneur in clinical research. During this time, he has founded several companies, continued the development of others, and invested in multiple businesses. In these roles, he contributes both business acumen and scientific expertise to the success of these ventures.
We are committed to the medical and scientific objectives of the companies in which we invest. At the same time, we ensure that their financing and economic sustainability support the achievement of these scientific goals. On a personal level, we work closely, sustainably, and with mutual trust with the managing directors, fellow shareholders, and employees of our portfolio companies, guided by clear governance principles.
Our companies develop and market products and provide services that sustainably improve the health of many people.
Responsible conduct—guided by medical and ethical principles—is therefore at the core of our strategy and decision-making.
We invest in companies exclusively on a long-term basis, with the aim of sustainably increasing their reach and value.
Personal conversations form the foundation of our collaborative partnerships.
For this reason, we primarily invest in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as in neighboring European countries.
BLS initially prefers to acquire significant minority stakes (more than 25% of voting rights). If the chemistry is right and the shareholders desire deeper involvement, we are open to exploring that as well.
In addition, we are interested in founder teams and pioneering ideas. A small stake can serve as a starting point for validating a broader strategic collaboration.
Our portfolio companies retain their independence. At the same time, we work synergistically within the group, and the companies support one another. This allows each company to set its own priorities while benefiting from the synergies within the group.
