8VC stepped into life sciences to bridge the gap between groundbreaking biomedical innovation and real-world patient care. Our collaborations with visionary scientists have already begun transforming deadly diseases into manageable conditions, and in some cases, outright cures. Despite the immense potential of advanced diagnostics and therapies, however, rare disease medicine remains starkly underdeveloped. At their core, the unmet needs in rare diseases are not only scientific or medical challenges, but fundamental misalignments of commercial and societal incentives.
Today, Terra Industries, Africa’s first modern defense prime, is out of stealth. Founded by ambitious repeat entrepreneurs, a competitive physicist and a Navy veteran UAV engineer, Terra is fast emerging as a critical institution in advancing the security and prosperity of the continent.
