Aspect Biosystems is an early-stage biotechnology company operating on the leading edge of 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering. The company was founded in November 2013 through a collaboration between two world-class research groups in Engineering and Medicine at the University of British Columbia. Based on the company’s proprietary Lab-on-a-Printer™ technology, Aspect’s highly interdisciplinary team has developed a disruptive 3D bioprinting platform capable of creating living Human Tissues on Demand™ for broad applications in the life sciences. This technology is enabling advances in fundamental biological research, drug development through novel pre-clinical models, and regenerative medicine.

Ultimately, Aspect is working towards a future where better drugs are developed faster, where animals are no longer needed for the development of new therapeutics, and where lifesaving transplant organs are created, not harvested.

InvestX Capital Ltd. is the first-of-its-kind private equity platform for accredited retail investors.

According to Cambridge Research, private equity has had annual returns of 17.4% over the past decade. Yet retail investors have been unable to invest in private equity due to limited access and million-dollar investment minimums… until now.

InvestX allows retail investors (InvestX Members) to add private equity deals to their portfolio, investing on the same terms as big institutions. InvestX accomplishes this by aggregating members’ smaller checks, and writing one big check to invest alongside world-class institutional investors like Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, Sequoia Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz. InvestX Members are always assured that a professional private equity firm has done proper due diligence and is investing alongside them.

Lyft, Spotify, and Dropbox are just a few examples of the later-stage private companies InvestX Members have had the chance to participate in investing, companies that they could never otherwise access!
