The people shaping healthcare's next decade aren't waiting for conferences to talk about it. They're doing it in rooms our members get to join.

Next Wed, Sep 9, we're hosting a Fireside Chat with Bob Kocher, Partner at Venrock, to unpack the firm's newly released 10th annual Healthcare Prognosis, a survey of hundreds of health tech experts on where the industry is really headed. Bob will walk through what the data shows on how AI is actually moving the needle on budgets, where GLP-1s and consumer peptides sit between real adoption and inflated hype, why almost no one expects the health tech IPO window to open in 2026, and what policy shifts like the Medicaid cuts under H.R.1 and new CMS Medicare Advantage rates could mean for the sector.

This is the kind of access that comes with membership. Recent Fireside Chat and AMA guests have included Greg Yap (Menlo Ventures), Lisa Suennen (AHA Ventures), Kimmi Grewal (Microsoft), and Holly Maloney (General Catalyst). Every session is a chance for our community to ask questions directly, build relationships, and stay ahead of where healthcare is headed.

Live Q&A with Bob is exclusive to members who attend. Join StartUp Health today to reserve your seat in the room.

“Our success is directly correlated to what StartUp Health has done to date. When it comes to investor relationships, StartUp Health identified a core set of investors who can invest in our company as a medical device company,” says Sathya Elumalai, CEO & Co-founder of Aidar.

“The Expert Office Hours sessions have been FANTASTIC – a jolt of energy, great insights, helpful tips, and connections you just can’t get anywhere. Thank you to all the StartUp Health team who puts these together and to all the amazing guest speakers and fellow Health Transformers who are sharing their stories or asking great questions,” says Dr. Alexandra Greenhill, CEO, Chief Medical Officer, and Co-founder of Careteam Technologies.

“What a room and a lineup. StartUp Health does such a great job bringing real operators, builders, and decision-makers together without the noise. Thank you!” says Aubrey Sawyer, CEO & Co-founder of InHealth.

“Being part of the Alzheimer’s Moonshot Community has been invaluable. It connects us with the leading experts such as Phyllis Ferrell and Craig Ritchie and also provided us with a safe space as entrepreneurs to share challenges candidly with our peers,” says Eliav Shaked, CEO & Co-founder of RetiSpec.

This week, two StartUp Health community members take center stage. Scan.com closed a $220M raise led by Noteus Partners to build out the first national API for medical imaging. And Pear Suite, the community health worker platform originally launched in Hawaii, landed a new $900k investment from longtime partner Health Net to help California community organizations get paid for the whole-person care they're already delivering. Below, more details on both, plus 11 more raises across behavioral health, revenue cycle AI, and wellbeing guidance.
