Investment thesis

PACE Healthcare Capital backs mission-driven, diverse founding teams building high-impact digital health and healthcare tech solutions based on software, AI, or ML, explicitly excluding medtech and life sciences. It looks for companies showing commercial traction (users, contracts, or revenue) that are raising a late Seed, Series A, or Series B to reach scale. Initial checks range from $1M to $4M with substantial follow-on capital available, and the firm will either lead or follow. Beyond capital, PACE provides operational, strategic, and financial expertise and connections drawn from deep healthcare experience. Its name reflects its values: Performance, Accountability, Collaboration, and Equity, with an emphasis on inclusive and equitable investing.
