Investment Approach
We focus in areas with the biggest impact on global health and wellness.
Unlike most VC’s/ Angel syndicates, we have a unique investor ecosystem organized around high-net-worth angels who are also industry experts passionate about the dual mission of improving global healthcare and social equity. We get organized “fit for purpose” around the needs of our startups and focus on the talent, uniqueness and diversity of our founders, especially the change makers who have been traditionally under-represented because of ethnicity, gender or race.

Build a better healthcare system
Up to 80% of the U.S healthcare and 50% globally is spent on complex, chronic, rare cases, disability, and elderly care. This population is poised for disruptors who are applying advances in technology.
The opportunity for ubiquitous and unstructured data aggregation and management, the intelligent analytics that provides basis of personalized and proactive action across the care continuum, and the support of diagnosis, maintenance, and monitoring of diseases in the most appropriate site of care will not only enhance clinical outcomes but also improve physician overload and drastically reduce cost of care.

Accelerate clinical innovation
Advances in genomics and computing will disrupt legacy clinical thinking and treat disease by considering individual differences in people’s genes, environments, and lifestyles. With the study of specific genes comes the many possibilities to improve humanity and help us live longer and healthier lives. It has already changed the way scientists conduct R&D, study diseases and design novel treatments in the fields of oncology, pharmacology, rare and highly infectious disease.
Key to success for precision medicine are the capabilities of ingesting, analyzing and creating insights with evolving data sets that include genome, medical history, individualized disease profile, environmental and behavioral information. We expect the use of AI, quantum and nanotechnology will exponentially unlock the value of this data and lead to a radical change in the world of medicine, wellness and surgery.

Democratize healthcare
3.5 billion people don’t have access to basic health services. Technology can play a significant role in care delivery through the digital democratization of health education and access, virtualization of evidence- based interventions and the industrialization of health systems.
The next generation of clinical interventions will defy traditional one-size-fits-all approaches replacing them with person centric distributed ecosystems, such as GenderTech, RaceTech, SocialDTech, etc. These platforms will address the wholistic needs of the different population segments from R&D to diagnosis to orchestration of clinical interventions across the care delivery continuum.
We Are Very Selective
We invest a lot of time with our start-ups.
