WEHI Ventures and 66ten Fund

The 66ten fund, managed by WEHI Ventures, is a $66 million strategic investment initiative aimed at advancing groundbreaking medical discoveries from early-stage research to commercial viability. The fund focuses on pre-seed and seed investments, providing the necessary financial backing and commercial expertise to accelerate innovative healthcare solutions that could have a global impact.

The fund aims to bridge the gap between discovery and investable commercial ventures. Significant funding in the pre-seed and seed stages will advance innovations more quickly and help to gain global commercial competitiveness.

The largest internal pre-seed and seed fund in an Australian medical research institute, 66ten is managed by WEHI Ventures, which commenced operations in July 2023.

66ten is dedicated to ideas and intellectual property developed at WEHI or in collaboration with WEHI.
