On today's StartUp Health NOW episode we're bringing you an excerpt from a recent StartUp Health Masterclass featuring Lee Shapiro, the managing partner at 7wireVentures. Very few people, if any, have the experience and market understanding that Lee Shapiro has. As we'll get into in the conversation, he's been an investor as well as an operator, guiding Allscripts and then Livongo. More than that industry expertise, however, we appreciate Lee's ability to put work and life in perspective. He's become a real sage, and in this Masterclass he shares wisdom on how to thrive and grow even when the markets are constrained. The Masterclass was held in front of a live virtual audience of around 40 founders from the StartUp Health community. Towards the end of the class we opened up the line for questions, so you'll get to hear Lee's practical feedback to founders working in the trenches. This session was so rich with insights and takeaways that we turned it into a video and a blog post as well. The video breaks down Lee's 21 top insights from the session, so if you want to skim through those, head over to StartUp Health TV on YouTube. Enjoy the Masterclass.

In this episode, Robert Garber, Partner at 7wireVentures, sits down with Irina Ahmad and Joy Basinger to discuss his healthcare predictions for 2024, specifically around topics relating to AI, Health Equity, and GLP-1 therapies. Robert's top three predictions:  AI: The majority of health systems will leverage generative AI in clinical documentation and conversational tools.  Health equity: Payers and MCOs will drive more integrated SDoH-focused initiatives tied to the CMS Framework for Health Equity and improvement of HEDIS measures.  GLP-1 Therapies: As payers face increasing demand to ease GLP-1 restrictions, successful weight loss startups will incorporate these therapies as a part of a broader, thoughtful weight-loss solution. 

This week's episode feature Natalie Neptune, founder of The Group Chat Queen and a 2023 Top LinkedIn Voice for Next Gen. Studying civil engineering at Penn State, she relishes virtual coffee chats.

On this episode, we talk group chats, global community, and breaking into venture capital.

Whether they like it or not - and they probably don't – every health tech founder needs to think about money. How much they need, and how to get it. For many founders, raising outside funds becomes a whole new full time job that they have to take on. This year, funding in the sector has dipped sharply, making that job even harder and more stressful. On our podcast this week, we hear from the other side of the table. We sat down with the heads of two major health tech investment firms and got their advice for health innovation entrepreneurs in 2023. First up is Lee Shapiro, managing partner at 7wireVentures and long-time collaborator with StartUp Health. Shapiro is a luminary in digital health investing so we asked him for his macro view of the industry and got a few practical tips for founders raising funds today. Then we hear from Shawn Ellis, managing partner at Distributed Ventures, a $100M fund that invests in Seed and Series A deals and has a strong health tech focus. In our chat Ellis broke down where his firm has found success recently and exactly what he looks for in a pitch.

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/A6TJr3FqN9M   Folx Health has now closed a Series B financing round with 7wireVentures that will permit the online healthcare company that now provides gender affirming products for the LGBTQ community to expand its services and offer more comprehensive virtual provider services.  Folx's total funding now hits $60 million.   The Folx website indicates which services are offered in various states.  Their panel of products include virtual healthcare, hormonal therapy, PRep medications, and ED therapy.   https://medcitynews.com/2022/10/folx-rakes-in-30m-to-enhance-direct-to-consumer-lgbtq-health-platform/ https://www.folxhealth.com   #lgbtq #folx #venturecapital #seriesb #virtualproviders #hormonaltherapy #prep #ed  

Just FIVE MONTHS after launch, rural health startup Homeward is proving its potential for growth with MORE funding – today announcing its $50 million Series B (that's $70 million total for the folks keeping score at home) – AND a huge 30,000-patient partnership with Priority Health. Co-founder & CEO Dr. Jennifer Schneider is here to breakdown both bits of news and give us some context about what they indicate about the rural healthcare market. There are a couple surprising facts in this one that add up to why investors like ARCH Venture Partners and Human Capital (co-leads), General Catalyst (which led the Series A), and Lee Shapiro and Glen Tullman (old buddies and former Livongo colleagues who went in on this with personal funds outside of their fund 7wireVentures) were excited to jump into a quick Series B. Surprising Fact 1: 90% of all rural Medicare beneficiaries are covered by just 7 payers, which makes the Priority Health deal a bigger deal than even that massive 30K patient population might indicate. Surprising Fact 2: Homeward's market of rural Americans is actually TWICE as large as the diabetes market that spurred the investment and growth of Livongo. For all the math, the details on how the business actually works five months in, and how Homeward is actually going to market as a ‘healthcare infrastructure' provider rather than just a next-gen medical group, you're going to have to give this one a watch! * Jessica DaMassa, the emerging ‘It girl' of health tech interviewing, chats it up with the ‘who's who' of the health tech and healthcare innovation set on 'WTF Health - What's the Future, Health?' Catch 100's of interviews with leading health tech startups and the VC investors, health insurance companies, big pharma co's, and hospital systems helping bring their new ideas into the healthcare establishment.

This week we bring you a conversation between Unity Stoakes, President & Co-founder of StartUp Health, and a very special guest, long-time StartUp Health investor, collaborator, and friend Lee Shapiro. Lee is the Managing Partner at 7wireVentures, a leading health tech investment firm, but that's just one of the many hats he's worn in recent years. The "beachside chat," which was held live at the 2022 StartUp Health Festival @ ViVE in Miami Beach, covers a range of topics, from what 7wireVentures looks for in a startup to how healthcare can learn from adjacent industries, like gaming and banking. Lee Shapiro is one of those rare voices in the industry that combines hard-earned operational experience with the health moonshot wisdom of a philosopher. He embodies the characteristics of tenacity and humility that he looks for in a startup founder, and he's always a pleasure to talk to.

This week's episode of StartUp Health NOW is pulled from a recent Fireside Chat we held with investor Alyssa Jaffee, a partner at 7wireVentures who focuses on digital health. Jaffee sits on the board of Ayogo Health and works with five health companies as a board observer, so she's got a very hands-on understanding of what's working and what's not. In the interview, Jaffee shares some best practices for breaking through the noise and landing a meeting with an investor. She talks through the importance of founder-market fit – why passion is particularly important in healthcare – and why she's so bullish on the health innovation market as a whole. We hold these candid conversations in front of a live audience of founders from the StartUp Health portfolio, so you'll get to learn from their questions as well.

Our guest on this episode is Stephen Smith, CEO of NOCD, a digital health company delivering high-quality virtual care for patients with obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD. NOCD performs over 140,000 virtual therapy sessions annually, and has established a community-driven model that connects patients around the world to peers and licensed therapists. Last year, NOCD raised a $33 million Series B round of funding led by F-Prime Capital and received their initial backing from 7wireVentures. In this episode, Stephen and I discussed: 1) His own experience searching for diagnosis and treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder and how this led him to founding NOCD. 2) How NOCD cares for patients with OCD and connects to patients who have not yet been diagnosed. 3) Why focusing on the OCD population positions NOCD well to attract top therapists and move to value-based care.

January 14, 2022: Informed connected healthcare consumer. That's https://www.7wireventures.com/ (7wireVentures) mantra. How will big tech, private equity and hedge funds engage across digital health this year? Here to talk funding is Co-Founder and Managing Partner, https://www.linkedin.com/in/leeshapiro/ (Lee Shapiro). The concept of care is moving outside the four walls of the health system. It's moving into the home. It's moving to rural locations. “Care Everywhere and Access to Care” is a huge funding area that will trend in 2022. What distinguishes the winners from the not so successful players in the digital health space? Where does an M&A strategy make the most sense? And what should we make of Oracle's acquisition of Cerner? Key Points: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:04:30 - Put consumers in the position of being better able to manage their health. When you do that, everybody wins.  00:11:40 - We'd rather take a great team with an okay idea than a so-so team with a fantastic idea, because we know that that great team is going to turn that good idea, in all likelihood, into a fantastic idea 00:16:55 - What funding trends will we see in 2022? https://www.7wireventures.com/ (7wireVentures)

Did you know that more people are caring for an elderly loved one than are caring for a child?  It's tough to be a caregiver for an elderly loved one and many of you have firsthand experience with caregiving.  Here's a quote that says it all.  “Everything is fine with your aging parent until it's not.  Then everything falls apart.”  This quote is from one of the co-founders of Homethrive, and we are lucky to have both gentlemen with us today.  Dave Jacobs and David Greenberg are not only the co-founders they are co-CEOs of the company.  Both men were previously executives in the health industry and personal experiences led them to develop Homethrive which will learn more about today.    Show notes:  Books: Educated by Tara Westover and Thirty Days With A Navy Seal by Jesse Itzler.  Podcasts: Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist Historyand Smartless with Sean Hayes, Justin Bateman, Will Arnett. 

Friends,This interview is about an organization that is creating a new healthcare category, and whose purpose is to solve the employer healthcare dilemma. But even more fundamental than that, they're attempting to solve the core struggles that all healthcare consumers are facing. Glen Tullman is the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Transcarent.  Tullman is the former Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder of Livongo Health  He previously led two other public companies that changed the way health care is delivered - Allscripts and Enterprise Systems. Tullman is also a Founding Partner at 7WireVentures, a socially-minded venture capital fund. He is the author of ‘On Our Terms: Empowering the New Health Consumer'.  Glen was honored in 2019 with a Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award for his career focused on improving the safety, empathy, and efficiency of our healthcare system. He also serves as a Chancellor to the International Board of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and as a Board Member and incoming Chairperson of the American Diabetes Association.In this episode, we'll learn about:The lack of alignment between payers, PBM's, healthcare systems and employers.  As Glen points out, if employers spend more, payers, PBM's and healthcare systems make more. How the plethora of digital healthcare companies and apps are contributing to further complexity in healthcare delivery.Why it makes sense for employers to get rid of copays for preventive care and chronic disease management costs.The three things that people want from healthcare and how Transcarent is delivering on those consumer needs.The 5 most common issues/questions that healthcare consumers call Transcarent about.One of the qualities I most admire about Glen is his blunt but eloquent truthfulness. As he puts it - “After 30 years of promises, we have a healthcare system today that is more confusing, more complex and more costly than it's ever been”. Supporting this statement, he cites the stat that the average self-insured employer must hire 14 different companies to assist in providing healthcare to their employees.  His solution to curtailing the complexity and confusion is to shift from fragmented point solutions to adopting the approach of other industries - which places the consumer in the driver's seat, provide ease of use, 24/7 access and low cost.Transcarent isn't just focused on building a ‘digital front door' or ‘digital consumer experience'.  It is a wholecloth transformation of the healthcare experience. It is a leader in a new category - part navigator, part health coach, part telehealth provider, part center-of-excellence referral source. Glen is so obsessed with providing a best-in-class consumer experience/journey that his brand promise is personalized, convenient, unbiased, virtual access to coaches, navigators, and doctors - within a few minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!What I respect most about Transcarent is not the technical wizardry or their impressive feat of creating a new market category. What I respect most is the unyielding primacy they place on the care of the consumer. For example - despite their ability to deploy chatbots, Glen insists that there be a live person on the other end of the line. He believes that people who seek healthcare want and deserve a live person speaking with them. Transcarent's approach is “care over costs”, and while this may seem unsustainable, he points out that providing this type of care ends up greatly lowering the overall costs of care. The key to Transcarent's approach is the alignment of payment with value based care. Unlike most other healthcare stakeholders, Transcarent does not make its money when healthcare costs and prices increase. Transcarent has completely attached its revenue and business model to cost savings. If your business model is to provide an outstanding consumer experience, deliver markedly improved health outcomes and lower overall total costs - then it makes sense to invest upfront in the way that Transcarent is doing. I truly wish more healthcare organizations would manifest the vision, integrity and courage to implement the business model that Transcarent has. It would save a lot of money for our country, corporate America, our states and towns, our families and our citizens.  But even more importantly, it would save a lot of lives. Until Next Time, Be Well.Zeev Neuwirth, MD
