Why are venture capital firms increasingly investing in clinical care delivery? My latest for Forbes. I explore the investing landscape and how VC (and private equity) firms are increasing their bets on care delivery organizations. I specifically take a look at the recent acquisition of Summa Health by venture capital titan, General Catalyst There's also an important discussion on why non-traditional players are interested in the healthcare landscape. For example, tech giant Amazon has made incredible strides in the space, with its One Medical platform and Amazon Pharmacy One key answer: healthcare is ripe for disruption, and these players hope to become primary catalysts for that disruption As always, keen to hear your thoughts and feedback!

What an insightful article in Vator’s “Meet the VC” series about Aegis Ventures co-founder and managing partner John Beadle, and the company creation platform built to partner with health systems!   The partnership between Northwell Health and Aegis Ventures has resulted in the development and launch of several healthcare companies, including Caire, Ascertain and Optain.   Aegis will be expanding its scope by working within an expanded healthcare system ecosystem through its Digital Consortium. We believe healthcare systems are best suited to understand and prioritize the changes needed in healthcare, and possess the knowledge and know-how to fix these problems head-on. Through our partnership with Aegis, Northwell Holdings has been able to explore creating these solutions on a commercial scale so they can be utilized by organizations across the healthcare landscape. The advent of the Digital Consortium marks an important milestone for how health systems can co-develop solutions and unlock the value inherent in our collective enterprises to drive catalytic change and improve care delivery and better support the efforts of our coworkers.

It's encouraging to see more investment going back into this space. The slump was unfortunate but no industry experienced as direct a challenge from the pandemic as healthcare. Health systems have spent the past two years just getting their heads above water and didn't really have the bandwidth to collaborate with startups who require these partnerships to access large patient pools.
