Syndicate Membership
Syndicate membership is exclusively limited to experienced/knowledgeable healthcare professionals (healthcare providers, administrators, and tech industry veterans).
To be accepted, you must be an healthcare professional (accredited) that, in addition to your investment, is willing to potentially do the following for each investment you participate in:
- open high-quality/high-value sales doors (targeting providers and insurers)
- participate in user/customer research, if you meet the user/customer persona
- help startups quickly overcome the usual barriers to entry (technology/regulatory decisions especially)
If that's you, welcome.
Investment Focus
I source healthcare startups that are raising money and enable you to invest in them with me. I maintain a special focus on tech-first or tech-enabled solutions that sell to providers (doctors, clinics, hospitals, health systems), as well as insurers. But I will not invest in biotech.
Back this syndicate not only for my healthcare deal flow, but to get introduced to other syndicate leads with compelling opportunities with whom I co-syndicate.

Operational Notes:
- You can opt out of any deal without penalty
- Don't expect many updates
- Early stage investing is inherently illiquid and risky: diversify across a portfolio and be prepared to lose all of your investment without complaint
- I would prefer to share syndicate deals only with my backers (deals won't be publicly viewable, unless the entrepreneur desires that)
Supportive Investors Get Priority:
I will make an effort to share deals with investors in the following order. If a company wants to keep the deal quiet, if the deal fills quickly, or if there is otherwise a reason to exclude some investors from the opportunity, the following guidelines will be used. Being a backer does not guarantee you access to all deals:
- Backers that can be very strategically valuable & Backers that have been helpful or supportive of previous deals (at my discretion)
- Backers that have backed >50% of my deals they've been invited to, Backers that have been invited to fewer than 2 deals, and backers that have invested at least $50k into one of my deals
- All syndicate backers
Note: Backers who are potentially competitive with the company (at my discretion) may be blocked.
I will make an effort to remove backers who I believe to be not supportive investors (at my discretion). Any one suspected of sharing information, bothering the founders, or doing similarly bad-faith things will be removed from the syndicate.
Dealflow details:
- I will try to share (best effort) any deal where I have at least a $50K allocation.
- I will try to syndicate (best effort) both new deals and follow-on investments.
