Carey Olsen has supported LongGame Ventures, a first-time fund manager, on the successful launch of its longevity biotech fund, LongGame Fund I L.P.

The Carey Olsen investment funds team advising LongGame Ventures comprised partner Christopher Griffin and associates Vera Cai and Anna Richardson.

Chloe Northcott, head of operations at LongGame Ventures commented: “Working with the Carey Olsen team was an absolute pleasure. As a first-time fund manager leading the operations, their support was invaluable throughout the entire fund formation process. Their collaborative, friendly approach made all the difference. I look forward to working with them again and building a long-term partnership for our future funds!”
