In the venture capital community, there’s a bit of a debate about what matters more to digital health investors in today's fundraising environment — growth or profitability. Cathy Gao, a partner at Sapphire Ventures, thinks VCs are still putting a premium on growth, but she noted that the conversation is very nuanced.
This year, industry experts think that some digital health startups will have to confront their challenges more head-on than they did in 2023. Some companies may need to do things like fundraise at a lower valuation, explore opportunities for an acquisition or exit or, in some cases, consider the possibility of shutting down operations.

Jonathan Bush has three rules he thinks digital health startups should follow as the country prepares for a likely recession. They should ensure their technology accomplishes a task that healthcare stakeholders need fulfilled, be very clear about how they can make more money doing their job than their competitors, and find "people who are unhinged enough" to try their product.
