New Harbor Venture Partners

What New Harbor Venture Partners does

New Harbor Venture Partners (NHVP) is a privately held, FINRA- and SIPC-registered broker/dealer operating as an institutional placement agent that raises capital exclusively for venture- and private-equity-backed healthcare and life science companies. The firm was founded by Mark Bosland in 2017 as the successor to Rockport Venture Partners, which he had run for 16 years starting in 2001 and through which he was an early conduit between US life science issuers and newly formed European venture funds. NHVP is led by a team of four senior executives — Mark Bosland (Founder & President), Dr. Beat Merz (Managing Director, Europe) and Jake Hindelong (Managing Director, United States) — and operates from a US headquarters in Spring Lake, New Jersey and a European office in Zumikon, Switzerland.

The firm does not sell a software or technology product; its offering is a process-driven capital placement service, with coverage organized across six healthcare verticals: Biotech, Diagnostics, Healthcare IT, Medical Devices, Pharmaceuticals, and Tech-enabled Services. NHVP executes process-oriented financings for early- to growth-stage companies, drawing on a global network of institutional investors including US, European and Asian venture funds, private-equity funds, cross-over funds, hedge funds, and family offices.

NHVP earns transaction-based placement fees on capital it successfully raises for clients; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is exclusively direct — the firm works with management teams and boards of directors of issuer clients — supported by passive top-of-funnel presence through its website and LinkedIn. The firm has no parent company, no outside private-equity or venture ownership disclosed, and no public ticker; its operating geographies span North America, Europe and Asia.

Product overview

New Harbor Venture Partners (NHVP) operates as a capital placement agent and investment banking firm serving healthcare and life science companies. Rather than a unified software product, NHVP offers advisory and financing services across six verticals: Biotech, Diagnostics, Healthcare IT, Medical Devices, Pharmaceuticals, and Tech-enabled Services. The firm's core offering is facilitating institutional financing—connecting early- to growth-stage companies with venture funds, private-equity funds, cross-over funds, hedge funds, family offices, and other qualified institutional capital sources. Their global network spans European, Asian, and US investors, and the firm executes a process-oriented financing strategy backed by a team of senior executives with decades of investing and fundraising experience. No discrete software products, platforms, or modules are offered—NHVP's value proposition centers on relationship networks, industry expertise, and transaction execution rather than technology products.
