Personal
Andrew has recently exited from a high-pressure investment into his own health – his pursuit of a series of endurance sports. The father-of-three says he is now most at peace when exercising a little more gently. He can often be found on a board or boat, on a bike, or half-way up a mountain. He also spends time helping others via a range of mentoring and charitable roles.
Andrew currently supports Neurofenix, Healios, Aridhia, CS Genetics and The Evewell. He had previously led investments into multiple successful healthtech companies, including Dexela (Perkin Elmer), Exco Intouch, Abcodia (AIM), and MyMeds &Me.
From Stephen Grellet, a 19thCentury Quaker missionary:
ANDREW ELDER, DEPUTY MANAGING PARTNER
“ I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
