The .406 Edge

We’ve seen the healthcare cycles.

When you start a conversation with us, you won’t have to explain the basics. Our 75+ years of combined experience means we can skip right to what’s special about what you’re building, why the timing makes sense, and how we can help make it work. We get to a shared vision faster.

We know what disruptive healthcare innovation looks like.

We have backed over 30 of the world’s best healthcare founders who have built companies that are now worth over $10B. We look for companies that have the potential to create or lead a category. We were Series A investors in pioneering companies like Health Dialog, the first true population health management company; Iora Health, the world’s first full-risk advanced primary care provider; and AbleTo, the first and most successful virtual behavioral health provider of its era. These companies each had unicorn+ level exits to BUPA, One Medical/Amazon, and Optum, respectively; but more importantly, they redefined the way healthcare is delivered. 

Our healthcare network runs deep.

In addition to our team’s vast network, we leverage our Healthcare Council consisting of 40+ executives from leading payers, providers, and self-insured employers; 4-8 Executives in Residence at any given time; and several healthcare-oriented strategic Limited Partners. There’s no potential customer, executive, or strategic partner to whom we cannot connect you.

Mission-driven returns.

Healthcare is an industry where doing what is right ties to doing well. We have a track record of and preference for supporting mission-driven founding teams, many of which are clinician-led or led by people with lived experience. We know that organizations that build teams centered around a common mission almost always deliver better service. This leads to more satisfaction, higher quality, and better outcomes.
