Three Arch Sticks to its Knitting

Three Arch Partners recently raised $400 million in less than a month's time, creating probably the largest pool of venture capital dedicated to medical devices. The fund came together quickly, through existing limited partners. Three Arch told existing investors that it planned to do exactly what has made it successful in the past: focus on medical devices with a smattering of selected services, dedicating a majority of the fund-perhaps 70%--to early stage investments. For investors who have been with Three Arch through its past funds, that works.
