After helping turn computer security provider Check Point Software Technologies (CHKP.O) into Israel’s biggest technology company, billionaire Marius Nacht is seeking to do the same in life sciences - and betting big money he’ll succeed.
Nacht, who co-founded Check Point with Gil Shwed and Shlomo Kramer in 1993 and serves as its chairman, is raising a healthcare-focused fund of more than $100 million after investing tens of millions of dollars of his own fortune in a dozen such startups.
