The Trendlines Group establishes, invests in, and develops innovation-based medical and agritech businesses that improve the human condition. By employing a unique business model, Trendlines de-risks early stage investing in these fields. Since its founding in 2007, Trendlines has experienced strong growth, establishing, funding and building over 40 companies. Of these, many are revenue stage, two are publicly traded, and numerous have potential for highly profitable exits in the next years.

Trendlines  Co-Chair and CEO D. Todd Dollinger said, “It was encouraging to see the interest from investors. While Trendlines’ business model is unusual compared to most of the listed companies in Singapore, investors understood Trendlines’ ability to incubate technology-based companies in the medical and agricultural fields, bring them to commercialization, and achieve significant returns for investors. The value of investing in Trendlines is well validated by cornerstone investor B. Braun’s strategic investment in us.”
