The Digest for Health Transformers & Changemakers
Dear StartUp Health Insiders (that’s you!),
I’m interrupting our regularly scheduled newsletter programming to give an important announcement, one that could affect every single newsletter subscriber.
First, a little history. For more than a decade StartUp Health has been a leading early stage investor in health tech, supporting more than 600 companies from nearly 40 countries. In order to support our portfolio we built a unique platform that uses education, networking, and storytelling to supercharge founders at every stage of growth. (If you’re reading this newsletter, you have a sense of the reach of our media operation.)
Today, we’re opening the gates. We’ve taken some of the best elements of our platform and made them available to the world at a price that even a cash-strapped founder can afford.
We believe passionately in the power of mission-aligned networks, so in this new membership community, open access is key. It’s not just for founders. Yes, it is perfect for founders on the first day of their entrepreneurial journey, but it’s also for industry executives wanting to better understand new technology. It’s for mid-stage founders who want to meet top tier investors and it’s for physicians who want to take a more active role in the health tech ecosystem. Whether you’re a founder, executive, providor, investor, or vendor, there’s a place for you in the StartUp Health community.
Here’s the bottom line: For $499/year, community members get (1) access to our live Fireside Chats with top investors, (2) access to our expert office hours to workshop challenges, (3) access to virtual and in-person networking events, (4) vendor discounts worth thousands, and (5) access to our community portal to meet fellow members.
We’ve kept it simple for a reason. Ready to join?
Need one more nudge? Here are literally hundreds of testimonials from current and previous members.
Details about this membership are available at startuphealth.com. If you’d like to take part in a membership infosession that I’ll be leading, reply to this email with the word MEMBERSHIP and I’ll add you to the invite list.
Here’s to the next decade of mission-aligned collaboration in healthcare.
Cheers,
Logan Plaster
Managing Director

“I think the nice part about StartUp Health is it's bringing together people with all different capabilities and different thinking to try and solve a problem. I think the best way to put it is we're all better together. And sharing ideas, learning from each other, and this is how things ultimately get done. Very seldom does one person change the world,” says Toby Cosgrove, MD, Former President & CEO of Cleveland Clinic.
“We love being part of the StartUp Health community for a lot of reasons, including practical tips on fundraising and real connections with fellow founders so we can share lessons learned and avoid common mistakes,” says Mitul Desai of The Care Hack.
“Being part of the community has been invaluable. Connecting with peers, facing similar challenges, accessing experts – it strengthened our capabilities and broadened our network,” says Chris Mirro of Veravas.
“How beautiful it is to have a community of very disparate companies and solutions contributing to solve different parts of the same core problem,” says Allyson Schrier of Zinnia.
From an insurance platform expanding from Europe into Canada to clinical intelligence for older adult care management in New York to AI-powered preventative, personalized healthcare in Melbourne to a physics-based aging platform in Singapore to hormone-tracking wearables in San Francisco and AI-native clinical tools in São Paulo, this week's deals reflect a maturing global digital health market putting intelligence at the center of care.
