Despite the turmoil in the venture market over the last two years, we have seen great deal flow. We’re proud to highlight several recent investments: Deep Cognition, FreightPOP, Jolie, OpsLab, Vivifi Medical. We are excited to support the continued innovation of each of these companies.   As we look to the second half of 2024, it remains to be seen what the market’s steady state will be. We’re observing the following trends: 1. AI continues to dominate the conversation. But sustained value remains uncertain, as current applications may not deliver the outsized returns needed to justify costly infrastructure investments. 2. Private companies continue to focus on fundamentals and profitability. 3. Strategic bridge rounds have risen for later-stage startups as M&A markets remain suppressed. 4. Investor-friendly financing terms remain due to low fundraising activity and exit opportunities.

Venture capitalists on a panel at MedCity News' INVEST conference in Chicago provided insights on the current #healthcarefunding environment, their views on AI, and why diversity still really matters. Key takeaways: 💹 The #digitalhealth funding market has more discipline, seeking founders who are paying more attention to unit economics and contribution margin and thinking critically about the milestones in their business and KPIs. 💹 Most investors want to help their portfolio companies sustainably accelerate profits and build the networks, such as #healthsystem connections, necessary for eventual commercialization. 💹 When considering #healthAI startups, a key question is asked: Is this a product or a company? AI should be an integral part of the core business rather than a trendy add-on. 💹 Diversity still really does matter. A VC on the panel said in all of the term sheets her firm signs, there is a clause that stipulates #diversity requirements for its portfolio companies. https://lnkd.in/gqsJEHBk

Innovation-first people in the Austin, TX area! Heading there today and would love to catchup! Your time with me will be worth it, if any of these ring a bell: 1. I can't fund my idea 2. I can't sell my idea 3. I can't think of a new idea 4. I have an idea, but don't know if its any good 5. I have an idea, know its good, but its not going anywhere 6. How do I scale a company with 2 young kids, demanding my time. (ok the last one, I'm still figuring out myself :-) Anyone with ideas, I'm all ears!) ....or if you like classic/grunge rock \m/ Looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and making some new ones. #innovation #businessintelligence #corporateventure #sbir TechConnect Capital Factory
