Investment Thesis

MedStartr Venture Fund believes that crowd validation is a superior method for identifying and selecting healthcare startups. They have developed a data-driven investment approach that converts startup selection ‘from a black art to a science’ by leveraging their unique position at the intersection of healthcare innovation communities. Their core belief is that when patients, doctors, institutional leaders, and investors collectively validate a company through contests and challenges, that company is over 20 times more likely to be successful.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Proprietary crowd-validation methodology - companies backed by their healthcare crowd are 20x more likely to succeed
  • Massive deal sourcing capability - attract over 1,000 pre-revenue companies annually
  • Unique ecosystem combining AI metrics with crowd intelligence for company selection
  • 3-year MedStartr Acceleration Program (MAP) providing up to $250k in in-kind support beyond capital
  • Deep healthcare domain expertise - team with 75+ years combined healthcare experience and 100+ years combined team experience
  • Access to physician leaders, KOLs, healthcare systems, payers, and policy-makers for portfolio company pilots and clinical studies
  • Industry-leading performance over first two funds with demonstrated track record of exits
  • Holdings in complementary platforms (MedStartr Crowd, CrowdEquity offering, MedStartr Labs)
