Suranga Chandratillake

Spear’s Review

Described by a London daily as a ‘unicorn-hunter’, Suranga Chandratillake hit the headlines in 2018 after Balderton Capital raised £9.1 million in funding for Healx, a Cambridge-based med-tech start-up using artificial intelligence to find new, potentially life-saving uses for existing drugs. Chandratillake said: ‘The future of medicine will focus on what is different about everyone, personalising treatment and taking the individual into context.’ 

It’s the same rationale he applies to spotting and backing rare ideas that can overturn entire industries. Watch for more headlines involving the Cambridge-educated partner; Balderton’s past successes include Revolut, Betfair, Bebo and Citymapper.
