The first and only mission-driven venture philanthropy fund focused on accelerating a cure for multiple myeloma.

The Myeloma Investment Fund® (MIF), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation® (MMRF®), drives the development of new therapies through funding, scientific expertise, and strategic guidance.

Why Venture Philanthropy?

Multiple myeloma remains an incurable disease, and a challenging one to treat. There is an urgent need to develop new and novel treatment strategies to provide patients with more options to combat their disease.

This task largely falls to early-stage, venture-backed biotech companies that take on a disproportionate amount of scientific and financial risk that can only be overcome with world-class expertise and reliable funding. Investing through the MIF enables us to provide financial and strategic support to advance a robust pipeline of new myeloma therapies forward and improve the probability of their success for patients.

How the MIF Is Fueling Progress

“You can build a lot of promising molecules in the lab, but at some point, you have to start manufacturing,” said Simon Bornschein, CEO of Coding Bio, an MIF portfolio company. “That costs money. The MIF’s investment is what’s getting us across that threshold. In addition, MIF has a vast investor network and pharma contacts for business development discussions.”

Investment Strategy

The MIF is uniquely positioned to identify and invest in the most promising new therapies in development – and to identify innovative technologies that could change the landscape of myeloma research. Our investments are driven by our singular goal to accelerate the development of novel therapies which could lead to cures for each and every multiple myeloma patient.

We look for companies pairing great science and a strong potential for transformative patient benefit with the potential for a significant financial return to drive the MIF’s growth and sustainability. Importantly, as a philanthropic venture fund, 100% of our financial returns are reinvested into the fund to continue supporting the development of future myeloma therapies.
