In this episode of Investor Connect, Hall T. Martin welcomes Herbert to discuss the pivotal role family offices play within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Herbert highlights the importance of understanding local accelerators, venture capitalists (VCs), and other funding sources in the community during the investment due diligence process. He emphasizes that co-investment requests from family offices to VCs are typically more successful than those from individual entrepreneurs, as they signify a commitment and vested interest from the family offices, thus encouraging VCs to engage more readily.

Herbert also notes the unique contributions of family offices in supporting emerging managers within the venture capital space, often stepping in to fund those who have yet to build the extensive track records required by larger institutional investors like pension funds or foundations.

In the latter part of the episode, Hall introduces Mark Depa of BIO Oxo, a biotech company pioneering innovative treatments for conditions like stroke. Mark pitches their leading compound, BIO 01, which is in phase two clinical trials for treating intracerebral hemorrhage, a type of hemorrhagic stroke. He explains the compound’s unique origins and mechanisms, derived from the saliva of ticks, and discusses its potential to address a significant unmet medical need. Mark also outlines the company's milestones, market potential, and funding strategy, emphasizing the strong backing and promising preliminary data that positions BIO Oxo for substantial growth and impact in the medical field.
