Our diverse, 23-person team boasts decades of healthcare and technology investing and operating experience. As investors, we have partnered with companies at all stages – from seed and venture to private equity and public – across the healthcare ecosystem. As operators, our experience spans roles at leading healthcare businesses including Aetna, 23andMe, DaVita, Availity, Henry Ford Health, and Zocdoc, as well as technology pioneers such as LinkedIn and Paypal. Collectively, we have guided and led dozens of companies with distinct tech-enabled business models across a multitude of healthcare subsectors and end markets.

The Healthwell team offers unparalleled support to management teams, stemming from our decades in operating roles across all functions of a business. We have led areas such as business & financial operations, clinical excellence, technology strategy, marketing, healthcare regulatory & legal, and public investor relations, among others. Backed by the breadth and depth of our operating experience, we take a tailored approach to partnership and can provide targeted yet flexible support in pursuing value creation initiatives.

Our team has held operating or board roles at over 25 public companies, including healthcare businesses, prior SPACs, and Playboy Enterprises, where Healthwell Director Christie Hefner served as the longest-tenured female public company CEO. We have deep experience in supporting the transition to a public company, managing public market and investor dynamics, leading and driving growth at public businesses, and leveraging the benefits of public listing. Our team’s presence in the public markets over the last four decades has also shaped an unrivaled set of public investor relationships.
