Investment thesis
The firm views the chronic disease crisis as a systems failure rather than a medical one, identifying structural constraints—financial instability, fragmented communities, limited care access, and practitioner shortages—as addressable through technology. It invests in early-growth companies leveraging AI-driven diagnosis, digital health adoption, shifting financial incentives toward prevention, and community-based care models. The investment thesis centers on building the next generation of enduring companies around prevention across digital, financial, community, and personal health dimensions.
