Investment thesis
LionBird invests in early-stage, 'pre-scale' healthcare technology startups, aiming to reset healthcare's relationship with technology. The firm looks for what it calls 'LionBirds' — startups built from a unique insight that gives them an unnatural, structural advantage, competing on a different vector that changes the playing field. LionBird treats each investment as a long-term relationship and publishes its investment process and past investment data to help founders assess fit. It provides both capital and active assistance to teams on a mission to fix healthcare.
