The Digest for Health Transformers & Changemakers
Jill Angelo has sat at every seat at the table – Microsoft executive, founder of Gennev (one of the first menopause-focused digital health companies and a StartUp Health community member), and now VP of Women's Health and Commercial Partnerships at Oura. She joined StartUp Health co-founder Unity Stoakes for a live fireside chat on why women's health has finally grown up as a category, what it takes to build clinical credibility through partnerships, and the hard-won founder lesson she wishes she had learned earlier.
Read the full recap, watch the highlights, or catch the 20-minute podcast distilled from the full one-hour session – and if you want to be in the room for conversations like this one, that's what StartUp Health membership is for.
A Wrap on the Inaugural Civic Health Forum
Yesterday at Civic Hall in New York City, the inaugural Civic Health Forum brought together leaders from major hospital systems, government, the investor community, academia, and the founders building the future of prevention for a half-day of strategic conversations, Innovator Spotlights, and structured networking, all anchored to one question: how do we keep people healthy before they enter the healthcare system?
A sincere thank you to our co-hosts Fedcap and Digital Health Hub Foundation, every speaker who took the stage, the founders who showcased their work across our health moonshots, and the community members who traveled in to be part of it.
If you want to be in the room for what's next, become a member of the StartUp Health community. Membership is your front-row seat to the health moonshot movement, with opportunities to participate in events like Civic Health Forum, inclusion in our global community of Health Transformers, and access to the relationships that move innovation forward.
Companies across the US, UK, Europe, and India closed health innovation rounds this week, led by a $50M seed for biological AI and a $35M Series A putting an AI advocate in every American's corner.
