If you’re building a health tech startup, here’s a useful perspective from the accelerator side. At ViVE, I spoke with Keith Camhi, Managing Director of the Techstars Healthcare Accelerator powered by Permanente Medicine Mid-Atlantic States. The program invests in early-stage startups and helps founders run pilots with physicians in the Kaiser Permanente ecosystem. Some interesting takeaways: • Techstars still prioritizes “Team, team, team” above everything else; • Founders in the program are interviewed by physicians before acceptance; • The goal isn’t just mentorship — it’s getting real pilots with providers; • AI startups dominate applications, but the focus remains on real clinical problems. Applications for the next cohort open soon, so founders may want to keep an eye on it.

Pleased to announce the launch of our latest healthcare report “Single Specialty: Care at Scale” at the India Health Exhibition Conference 2025. The report examines how focused care models are unlocking scalable, high-quality, and cost-efficient delivery in India—supported by clear growth signals and strategic levers for value creation. We’re also moderating a panel on accelerating domestic medical device manufacturing—driving impact across policy, innovation, and supply chain resilience. Looking forward to insightful conversations at Bharat Mandapam with stakeholders shaping the future of Indian healthcare. #HealthcareDelivery #CareAtScale #MedicalDevices #PraxisGlobalAlliance Madhur Singhal | Shivam Bajaj

Excited to share that Bessemer Venture Partners has led Sukino Continuum Care’s $31M Series B, backing a category that India’s healthcare system has quietly ignored for far too long: long-term recovery and rehabilitation. I come from a family of doctors, and I’ve grown up watching how stretched our healthcare system can be, especially for patients who survive the acute phase of an illness, only to be left on their own for recovery. Over the last few years, that conviction has only strengthened: India doesn’t just need more hospitals, it needs a new layer of care focused on getting people back to living. The country accounts for ~10% of global stroke cases, and millions of patients each year need 6-8 weeks of physical, speech, occupational, and psychological therapy after events like stroke, cancer, or major orthopedic surgery. Yet the healthcare infrastructure is not optimized for slow, structured work of recovery. Families are left to bridge that gap on their own. That’s what Sukino bridges. I first met Rajinish M. back in 2017, and what stood out even then was the clarity of the problem he and Shalini Menon were trying to solve: building dedicated, protocol-driven recovery centers for patients who need weeks, not days, of care. Today, Sukino operates 850+ beds across 11 centers in Bangalore, Kochi, and Coimbatore, delivering multidisciplinary rehab for stroke, neuro, oncology, and ortho patients. Two powerful tailwinds are now making this model work at scale:  • Insurance is finally starting to cover 60–90 days of structured rehab, making quality recovery affordable.  • Families are becoming more open to institutional recovery, recognizing that specialized environments lead to better outcomes. At Bessemer, we believe organized, single-specialty healthcare platforms will be the next big unlock for India, and Sukino is building exactly that for long-term care. Grateful to partner with Rajinish, Shalini, and the Sukino team alongside Vishal Gupta as they build the backbone of India’s continuum care ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/gvFAzEmZ CC: Vishal Gupta, Nithin Kaimal, Karan Pahwa, Jesika Babel, Priya Kale, Deepa Papanna, Vivek Iyer, Arnav Patni

TheFounderVC has a truly compelling team - entrepreneurs and operators that have scaled from 0-1 and to exits across a variety of markets - some of whom are fellow classmates. They have built strong founder and VC networks over the last 25 years in tech and are now leveraging that access and experience on behalf of their portfolio. It clearly resonates with founders, as their early portfolio is truly compelling.

Premiering now on the Digital Health Heavyweights Podcast I have a conversation with the co founder and CEO of Bonfire Analytics Vinay Nagaraj! One great moment was when Vinay says that while business moves at the speed of trust, so does sales. I could not agree more. It requires a huge level of authenticity, being able to connect with a person, as a person. Building deeper relationships. There is a lot to learn on this weeks episode. Vinay shares his journey from biomedical engineering to healthcare sales, discussing the challenges and successes he faced while scaling revenue at Roundtrip. He emphasizes the importance of authentic relationships in sales, the role of data in healthcare, and the key traits he looks for in salespeople. Vinay also discusses the inspiration behind Bonfire Analytics, its mission to accelerate healthcare technology adoption, and the common mistakes healthcare companies make in sales. He provides insights into market opportunities, the importance of making data actionable, and offers advice for founders seeking funding. I always love asking my guests the 3 things they look for when hiring for sales roles, Vinay shares three traits he likes to seek out: 1. Hunger to LEARN, someone always focusing on learning, growing, improving themselves personally, and professionally. 2. Taking Initiative- startups are all the hats, building the plane while you're flying it. So if you see a process that needs fixing, fix it. 3. Strong Communicators- communications that is clear, direct, and easy to understand. I would add radical transparency to this list, but I did only give him 3 traits to distill. Check in to learn if you're a vitamin, or a pain killer, emerging markets, and of course all about Bonfire's impact, and goals, and more! Check out our key takeaways: 🎯 Salespeople should focus on understanding customer pain points to be effective. 📊 Bonfire Analytics aims to provide actionable insights to healthcare companies to improve sales efficiency. 🌍 Vinay's global upbringing fostered adaptability and resilience, essential traits for a startup founder. 🏥 Healthcare companies often make the mistake of relying too heavily on large health systems for sales. 🔑 Data must be actionable; Bonfire helps clients leverage data effectively for their sales strategies.

Dr. Mehmood Khan doesn't just run a $1B longevity fund. He's architecting the economic infrastructure for an industry that doesn't officially exist yet. Khan's background reveals the strategic thinking behind Hevolution Foundation's deployment: from academic endocrinology at Mayo Clinic to global R&D leadership at PepsiCo and Takeda. He understands both the science and the systems required to scale breakthrough interventions. The $1B budget isn't scattered across random research projects. It's systematically building the infrastructure for longevity interventions: regulatory pathways, manufacturing capabilities, clinical trial networks, talent pipelines. From my perspective in technology and systems integration, I recognize what Khan is building. The same foundation layers that preceded every major industry transformation. Early research funding, strategic partnerships, regulatory frameworks, market preparation. When Khan shares insights at our summit, he's not just discussing scientific breakthroughs. He's revealing the economic architecture being constructed around human longevity extension. The healthcare executives, policy makers, and industry leaders who understand this deployment strategy early will position themselves in an industry that's projected to reshape global healthcare economics within the decade. Technology should shape the future. Khan is demonstrating how strategic capital deployment makes that happen at scale. What examples have you seen of strategic funding that created entire new industries rather than just improving existing ones?

In this part of the Quality Series with Prashant Tandon, we discussed home sample collection. While this concept feels obvious now, it wasn’t always the case. For years, healthcare was based on a supply constrained economy. Patients had to visit clinics, pharmacies, or labs because that’s how the system was designed. When we imagined the diagnostics experience we wanted to provide, the thought was simple - If there’s a safer, easier way to bring healthcare to people's home, let’s make it happen. #Tata1mgLabs #QualityinHealthcare #Inside1mg

Exciting news! MoldCo is now live and available in California. Our clinician-led digital health platform standardizes mold detox as routine preventive care rising to meet the growing, often hidden health risks mold poses. A recent LA Times article perfectly captures the challenge: modern, energy-efficient homes can unintentionally trap moisture, creating an ideal environment for mold growth that affects both home durability and occupant health. At MoldCo, we combine advanced lab testing and personalized therapies to detect and prevent mold-related illness before it starts. Prevention is better than remediation. Californians now have a trusted partner in MoldCo to help protect their homes and health. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gxdkjyf5
