Brian Dovey, Partner (In Memoriam 2023)
Brian joined Domain as a partner in 1988, where he led investments in numerous innovative pharmaceutical and life sciences companies and served on the board of directors of more than 35 private and public companies, and as the chair of six.
Brian passed away on August 27, 2023, following a brief illness. Brian was an integral part of Domain’s rich history in the healthcare venture capital field. Brian represented the best qualities one could look for in a venture capitalist - he was a good investor, a highly effective board member and a mentor to both CEOs and young VCs. He was a teacher and an industry leader in his active service as a past Chairman of the NVCA, former chairman and board member of both the Center for Venture Education (Kauffman Fellows Program) and the Wistar Institute. He also served as a board member of the Scripps Research Institute, the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, and the La Jolla Playhouse, and was a trustee emeritus of Germantown Academy.
Brian’s passing leaves a big void in the lives of nearly everyone he knew, and he will be sorely missed.
