Investment strategy

Our strategy starts with identifying and understanding the macro trends shaping the healthcare industry. We focus on provider shortages, shifting patient responsibility, and the aging population to drive impactful investments.

Macro trends driving our investment thesis

Provider
Shortages

Facing a projected shortfall of up to 139,000 physicians by 2033, the U.S. must enhance healthcare efficiency. Our investment targets solutions like AI-enabled diagnostics and telemedicine to optimize care delivery and reduce provider burnout amidst an aging population and recruitment challenges.

Shifting Patient Responsibility

Escalating healthcare costs and increasing patient responsibility necessitate innovative solutions to promote price transparency and affordability. We target investments that enhance value-based care initiatives to empower patients and enhance healthcare affordability.

Aging
Population

As the baby boomer generation ages, there are 65,000 adults turning 65 years of age every day in America. There's a growing demand for chronic disease management and long-term care services and a shortage of specialized physicians. We seek investment opportunities in age-friendly technologies, remote monitoring technology, and personalized medicine approaches to empower these patients and others while improving their quality of life.
