About Helsia

We partner with ambitious teams ready to unlock the next level of development, investing €10–50 million of flexible, long-term capital in profitable healthcare companies and helping them scale with purpose.

At the heart of Helsia is a community of 40 accomplished healthcare entrepreneurs whose shared experience, insight, and network make the difference in achieving superior outcomes for patients, companies, employees, management teams, and investors alike.

Building a company is demanding. It takes a clear strategic vision, hard work, the right people, countless decisions — and a good measure of luck. That’s why we work tirelessly at your side: contributing our experience to help you grow and scale; our judgment to navigate complex decisions with clarity and pragmatism; our network to open doors to the right people, ideas, and markets; and our capital to empower you to seize transformative opportunities.

We believe technological innovation — and AI in particular — will continue to reshape healthcare. We already use these tools to source, evaluate, and monitor companies more effectively. Together with our AI partners, we help businesses harness the opportunities created by this transformation — turning disruption into long-term advantage.

Helsia is where entrepreneurial capital meets conviction — to build enduring healthcare leaders across Europe.

Our Community

Behind Helsia stands a unique community of healthcare entrepreneurs, operators, and investors who have built, scaled, and led successful businesses across Europe.

They bring deep sector expertise, trusted relationships, and a belief that partnership — not capital alone — creates lasting impact.
