ExSight Ventures Uses Finta to Close Fund Four
Finta provides the benefits of working with an investment bank, with better service and measurable outcomes, at a fraction of the financial commitment.
When ExSight Ventures was closing its fourth fund, they turned to Finta, whose warm intro automation uses AI to effectively replace investment bankers. Providing better outcomes and stronger investor relations at a fraction of the price.
How Finta Helps
James Murray has a long experience running capital raises on spreadsheets. Finta’s AI enabled platform is an intuitive step forward, seamlessly taking over much of the logistical work in running a successful fund raise.
“You’re able to bring everything into one place and leverage AI solutions to be much more efficient about the whole process,”
While Finta supported the close of Fund IV, Murray is especially excited about the level of targeted personalization that it creates as his firm embarks on Fund V. This is envisioned as the largest ExSight fund by an order of magnitude, and will stand on the back of its success over the past decade.
ExSight’s Vision
When Murray looks out at the life sciences innovation landscape, he sees a defined gap between early-stage tech and the $50-100 million Series A rounds that are now routinely being consummated by huge players in the space.
Within that context, ExSight actually has access to many top-notch researchers and promising deals. The firm’s vision is to raise a family of funds that can help identify opportunities and fund research, development and testing, all the way through seeding companies into mid- and late-stage human trials.
“We are building a life sciences asset management VC firm that can exploit a huge gap in the market,” he said. “The long-term goal is to create a family of funds based on clinical expertise.”
Takeaways
ExSight Ventures has a decade of successful experience making early-stage investments in the ophthalmology space.
The firm is leveraging that experience to create a family of funds in life sciences commercialization that exploits defined gaps in the market.
Finta brought an automated workflow to ExSight, helping it organize the trajectory of its round and create warm connections with new investors.
ExSight used Finta to close its fourth fund in 2025 and will now use the platform to embark upon its flagship Fund V, the largest investment vehicle ExSight has created to date.
