⚠️When founders pitch “design partnerships,” health system leaders hear something different. ⚠️ As Jordan Asher, MD, MS, previously EVP & Chief Clinical Officer at Sentara, one of the nation’s leading risk-bearing IDNs, explained in our interview: "𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲." It’s fine to be a vendor — but calling yourself a partner without real shared upside (equity, warrants, co-development) might backfire. 👉 Watch the full interview with Jordan (link in comments).

I’m so proud that Hyphen Capital has been a backer of Tim Hwang and Jonathan Chen since the beginning of Nitra. They had big ambitions to modernize the archaic back office of healthcare practices from fax machines to AI. It’s been amazing to see their growth from processing zero transactions to over a billion dollars and they’re just getting started.

Nice quote from one of our Partners Andrew Brackin in TechCrunch: “This was one of the biggest use cases of ChatGPT,” Andrew Brackin, a partner at Gradient who invests in health tech, told TechCrunch. “So it makes a lot of sense that they would want to build a more kind of private, secure, optimized version of ChatGPT for these healthcare questions.” https://lnkd.in/gY3TV5VD

I’m excited to share that Angle Health, founded by former Palantir Technologies execs Tylon (Ty) W. and Anirban Gangopadhyay, has announced an oversubscribed Series B bringing total funding to nearly $200M. I’m proud to be an early investor and to have led this competitive round with the amazing team at Portage. Why we keep leaning in: - 26x revenue growth since the Series A - Serving 3,000+ employers across 44 states - 80%+ renewal rates Angle Health is rebuilding the healthcare benefits infrastructure for SMBs, who employ nearly half of America’s workforce but have historically been shut out of enterprise-grade coverage. Their AI-native platform helps predict risk and deliver better care at a sustainable cost. This is exactly the kind of product-driven, AI-native company we’re proud to support at Mighty Capital.

Longevity isn’t about living longer at any cost, it’s about living better for longer. Yet, the gap between healthspan and lifespan in the US is the highest in the world and has grown to over 12 years. This gap is 29% higher than the global average and means that, in general, we are living over a decade of life in a diseased state. I spend a lot of time thinking about how this shift from reactive to proactive care is evolving and what emerging strategies from the elite performance world can be applied to accelerate this transition. The focus becomes less about how long can we live, and more on how long can we maintain strength, cognition, metabolic health, and independence? I’m really looking forward to this conversation with three outstanding people operating in this space. Hope you can join us live, but if not, be sure to register to receive a recording of our conversation. Registration link in comments.
