Oklahoma Life Science Fund

Oklahoma Life Science Fund, established in 2000 and based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a private equity firm focused on early-stage investments in the life sciences sector. The firm targets companies involved in health care, therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics, and tech-enabled services within the United States, particularly in Oklahoma. The fund's initial investment efforts have resulted in the creation of over 100 jobs at five start-ups, which now offer a mean income significantly higher than the state average. These companies have successfully attracted substantial venture capital, exceeding $210 million following the Oklahoma Life Science Fund's first investment. The firm's subsequent investment round, OLSF II, has already engaged with five additional start-ups in Oklahoma, which have collectively secured over $74.3 million in outside venture funding.
