Individuals who serve in roles supporting healthcare innovation often defy easy categorization. Some serve as mentors, working within health systems to collaborate with entrepreneurs and steer them toward achievable goals.
Others have worked as investors, vetting hundreds of healthcare startups to find ones with the right balance of management team, solid business models and improving outcomes.
Still others lead startups that target the 50+ market but don’t easily match conventional healthcare categories.
