We distinguish ourselves by prioritizing exceptional founding teams with deep expertise and a clear sense of purpose. Additionally, we leverage the unique advantage of having Fund General Partners who are leaders in both clinical and business/strategy aspects of healthcare.

Zain brings over 15 years of experience from undertaking substantial consulting projects with the largest health systems and payers in the country. Furthermore, he leads digital health and strategy for one of the largest US public health systems. With a track record of over 50 angel investments, Zain has developed a robust system for assessing companies and founders. Meanwhile, Jawad's surgical practice keeps him on the frontlines of care delivery. Bringing over 10 years of advisory experience and close collaboration with early-stage companies. Leading Austin MedTech Connect, he naturally attracts healthcare founders and other relevant stakeholders.
