Some of the sharpest minds in health innovation have been in conversation with our community recently. Investors, health system leaders, and clinical experts joined us for fireside chats and expert sessions, each pulling back the curtain on how they're thinking about the future of health, and what it means for the founders building it. Here's a look at five recent conversations, straight from the source.

Summer's winding down, and we're giving new members an extra reason to join now instead of later. StartUp Health membership is already built to keep you connected to the people, conversations, and opportunities driving the future of health – Fireside Chats, Expert AMAs, VIP event access, and a community of founders, funders, and operators who share your mission.

Join by September 1 and you'll also get your choice of a free audit: a website and brand audit, a pitch and story audit, or an AI ops audit. Sharpen your story or your systems, on us.

A $100M round for an AI-native techbio, a stealth-breaking smart ring startup backed by ARCH Venture Partners, and a wave of Seed and Series A bets across the US, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Our weekly round-up covers who's building what – and who's paying for it.
