Seerave Foundation has a firm policy not to pay any overheads to governing institutions when making donations, gifts or grants to research partners. We therefore request that applicants not allocate any portion of the Seerave Foundation’s funds toward indirect costs or overheads but to direct the entire amount to the relevant research projects.

Seerave Foundation provides grants for scientific studies as well as other science-based projects that may accelerate our mission. Proposals are by invitation only. Currently, Seerave is working to build a consortium of research institutions and hospitals with clinical data on a combined >5,000 cancer patients to address specific evidence gaps concerning the impact of microbiome modifiers on cancer immunotherapy.

Seerave Ventures makes equity investments in early-stage startups with strong technical merit. Often, these are spinouts of university labs. Seerave enables the sustainable clinical development, validation, market approval, and commercialization of new technologies through high-level engagement and support of 3-5 mission aligned companies.

Principles:

1. Seerave Ventures is designed to deliver scalable impact to advance Seerave’s mission (within 5 years)
2. Seerave Ventures is a vehicle for delivering impact (before returns)
3. Seerave Ventures is intended to fill a gap in the market, not to displace market players

Proposals are by invitation only.
