Global burden of dementia •:•: . • Dementia
Discovery
: Fund
• By 2030, there will be 75 million people with Alzheimer's disease globally, costing $2 trillion
• No drugs that have any effect on the course of diseases of dementia have been developed yet
• To discover disease-modifying new drugs, we need different approaches to those tried historically
• The DDF is committed to investing in new biological approaches (outside amyloid to develop a
range of safe, clinically effective drugs which can prevent or slow down the course of dementia
o Taking a long-term approach to funding new approaches to treat dementia
o Supporting start-ups considered too risky by regular venture capital firms
The market for dementia drugs is massive and finding a way to open it up is an investment
opportunity worth getting right

Dementia Discovery Fund: Update • • . . :'•: • Dementia
Discovery
Fund
• Dementia represents a massive unmet medical need with huge associated costs of care
• Launched in October 2015 as a result of the G8 Summit and World Dementia Council meetings,
the DDF is the world's first dementia-focused venture capital fund - the first time charity,
government and pharma have joined forces with a venture firm on this scale
• Our vision is to demonstrate compelling disease-modifying clinical efficacy and safety data for 2-3
novel drugs in dementia patients by 2025, and expanded dramatically the range of treatment
options in drug discovery and development
• We have privileged access to global CNS pharma experts through our Scientific Advisory Board
• Provide advice, share knowledge and offer insights on different approaches and historical
failures
• The pharma companies have no commercial or decision making rights though they will be
well positioned to acquire/license DDF-developed drugs/companies in due course
• DDF has raised -£100M to date from strategic investors, and Woodford Investment Management
(to close in April). DDF is now seeking an additional £130M to reach its target

DDF Investment Criteria Dementia
Discovery
: Fund
Disease modifying impact
• We invest in drug discovery opportunities that have the potential to prevent or slow the course of
dementia
Scientific opportunity
• We invest in biological mechanisms that have already demonstrated clinical impact in diseases
outside dementia, as well as new mechanisms which can be proven in stratified patient groups
Filling the gaps
• We invest in targets and mechanisms too early for pharma and too high risk for most venture
funds
• We deploy long-term and flexible capital to fund key scientific milestones that overcome critical
hurdles in the development of dementia therapies by working with our world-class, global network
of experts
Leveraging DDF investments
• We invest in projects and companies with potential to attract funds from sources beyond the DDF
and its investors

The brain:
• 2% of the body mass (1.5kG)
• Consumes of -20% of the oxygen
• Uses 25% of the body's glucose to generate ATP
• Uses —4.7 billion ATP molecules per second
• Richest in mitochondria — highest ROS producer..

Fund
• DDF update
• Portfolio overview
• Scientific deep dive into current prioritised areas of scientific focus for DDF
1) Microglia, the role of glia in synaptic health, lead by Professor Beth Stevens
2) Mitochondrial dynamics and their role in dementia, lead by Professor Daria Mochly-Rosen

First year DDF performance ::•: : Fund
Investments
• 12 investments to date exploring novel mechanisms across all key themes
• 14% of current capital committed (invested, committed and reserved is £47m (48%)
• DDF investments leveraged with other investors' and grant funding
Deal flow
• Proactive translation of novel biology using targeted project-based funding in addition to
investments in emerging companies
• Sourcing science and academic relationships in UK, US and Israel to date
DDF team
• Core DDF team supported by EIRs and world-class consultants in London and Boston
• Streamlined, rapid communication and decision making processes in place
Fundraising:
• -40% of fund raised (£97.4m)

Scope to increase DDF's impact Dementia
Discovery
Fund
Raising further capital will enable DDF to:
1. Expand the landscape of novel targets and mechanisms to develop into new dementia drugs (no
shortage of opportunities)
• Including mechanisms proven in oncology, inflammation, metabolism etc
• Share learnings (successes and failures)
• Broader geographic sourcing of science/academics
2. Build more robust preclinical and clinical translational data packages to increase the success of
new drug development
• Human tissue preclinical models
• Biomarker development
• Broader clinical evaluation in stratified patient groups
3. Leverage DDF's investments in novel translational biology to build momentum and confidence in
the field, bringing more R&D funding into dementia drug discovery
4. Invest further in catalytic infrastructure to support dementia drug discovery beyond ChemCo, e.g.
blood-brain-barrier technologies, iPSC banks, diagnostic technologies, novel clinical end points
-* Larger DDF fund will enable discovery and development of many more than 2-3 novel drugs
for dementia patients (both through the DDF and beyond)

AI-generated factual descriptions of embedded images (llava:13b). These are searchable across the corpus.
[Image 1] The image appears to be a microscopic view of cells, possibly from a tissue sample. The cells are stained with a green fluorescent dye, which highlights their structure and allows for visualization under a microscope. The cells are densely packed and have a complex, branching structure, which is typical of certain types of cells, such as neurons or dendrites. The image is likely from a scientific
[Image 2] The image appears to be a slide from a presentation, possibly educational or informational in nature. The slide has a title at the top that reads "How to translate to Human Disease?" and is divided into two main sections with bullet points. The first section is titled "1. Synapse Associated Compound in Human AD," and the second section is titled "2. Biomarker Potential?"

[Image 3] The image appears to be a slide from a presentation, possibly related to scientific research or collaboration. The slide is titled "Stevens Lab Collaborators" and lists several names, which are likely the individuals involved in the collaboration. The background of the slide is a colorful, abstract pattern that resembles a microscopic view of cells or molecules, suggesting a biological or medical
[Image 4] The image is a slide from a presentation, likely related to a research or educational topic. The slide is titled "A roundabout, not a cascade" and features a photograph of a waterfall on the left side. On the right side, there is a diagram with text explaining a concept or process, which appears to be related to the waterfall image. The text is too small to read clearly, but it seems to be providi
[Image 5] The image appears to be a screenshot of a video call or a virtual meeting. It shows a group of logos and text at the bottom, which are likely the names of organizations or institutions. The logos include the Alzheimer's Association, the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the Cure Alzheimer's Fund, the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation, the
