HEP Strategic Investing Summit: Executive Playbook

The last ten years have seen an explosion of health systems and health plan-based venture and innovation funds. The acceleration of digital adoption throughout COVID, the migration to new payment models, a rapidly consolidating competitive landscape, and the incursions of big tech and retail into healthcare have led many payers and providers to aggressively seek opportunities “outside the core” for growth. Ezra Mehlman, a healthcare growth equity investor and professor at Columbia Business School, will organize a discussion for hospital and health plan senior executives who are interested in standing up and operating strategic venture funds. The summit will feature a panel showcasing the perspectives of leading strategic VCs as well as venture-backed companies who have raised money from strategic funds.
