UPCOMING MEETING:
October 4, 2023
Discussion Topic:
From Angels and VCs to PE, What Do Healthcare Investors Want Now?
In the first half of 2023, healthcare IT companies raised $2.3 billion in venture capital. Not surprisingly, according to MedCIty News, generative AI products reaped the greatest share of the bounty – over 25%. But companies close behind in the race for funding were Remote Patient Monitoring and Care Coordination platforms for ambulatory care that generate actionable insights for improving patient outcomes.
Even for our Members who just use Health IT, it’s important to know which technologies provide great patient care – and a great ROI.
To add richness to our Group Discussion on what healthcare investors want now, we’ll look to hear from our Round Table Members who have either provided or raised expansion capital as Angels, VCs, PE partners, or in the public market. Our Featured Member Presenter, George Carpenter, has worked with all of the above in building his healthcare companies – and now, as President of CGI Biomed Investments, he’s an active Angel investor, as well as provider of ongoing consulting, board membership and an investment platform for med-tech initiatives for organizations that include Sanofi Aventis, Ambry Genetics, J&J, Elan Pharmaceuticals, and Tech Coast Angels. Even if you run a nonprofit or have all the money your organization needs, you’ll want to hear George’s story -as the marketplace, it is a-changin’.
George Carpenter is ABL’s only CEO Member to have won our ABBY Award twice. First, as the CEO of WorkWell Systems, in 2004, for their occupational health programs for the Fortune 500. And again, in 2016, for MYnd Analytics, a breakthrough, predictive biomarker platform for reducing trial and error prescribing of psychotropic drugs. As the Founder/CEO of multiple health IT and biomed startups, their aggregated exit value has been over $1 billion.
