As Day 2 of #DHAI2024 wraps up, it occurs to me that many of the #digitalhealth & #AI #startups here may benefit from The National Institutes of Health #SBIR & other grant funding a.k.a. #nondilutivefunding since you don't give up any equity. Here's an excerpt from a recent talk I did for the Montefiore Health System / Albert Einstein College of Medicine Biodesign Seminar series, pointing out key considerations of (1) fit/timing (esp. while waiting 2 more innings for venture funding to pick back up!), (2) workshops like QB3, and (3) taking a portfolio approach instead of just applying for one grant.

Optimistic consensus from the #healthcare #investor panel at #DHAI2024: we're in the 7th inning of the market correction, and #VC will pick back up in the next couple of quarters. For those not into baseball, there are 9 innings. I had to ChatGPT that ?? Ritesh Patel Julia A. Croxen Michael A.

Huge shoutout to Victor Wang for putting together the Startup Founders Drinks & Networking NYC shindig on Friday! What a night! Got to hang out with a bunch of cool people who are just as pumped about their entrepreneurial journey as I am. Victor, buddy, seeing you twice in 10 days? That's the real MVP moment right there! Always awesome catching up with you. Sorry about my photo skills though - they're pretty rough! ?? But hey, blurry pic or not, the memories are spot on. Looking forward to seeing you again and hearing your amazing stories soon!

In our final Montefiore / Albert Einstein College of Medicine Biodesign Seminar excerpt 9 of 9, Friendi.fi co-founder Victor Wang ties together how, for the sake of #minorities, #lowincome and other underserved folks, high-engagement, high-trust relationships with individuals are necessary at total-population scale for uncovering otherwise invisible #SDoH factors, like a frail #olderadult who can't afford to fix a broken AC unit in the heat of the summer. Such insights have major??impact for healthcare payers: #digitalhealth startups operating in a #capitated environment can realize this business value while aligning with the principles of #TechQuity.

Hello #NYC founder friends, it's #Founders #Friday in 3 days! ?? Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gp2ueitz If you're a founder interested in meeting other founders in a relaxed setting over cocktails, please consider joining our community. This is the new sister group of our SF-based founders' group with >400 members, and as with SF, we've curated our NYC members to focus the group on actual startup founders, with a smattering of relevant folks like investors and C-level startup execs. So, you'll find a lot of kindred spirits here ?? Our group tends toward early stage, and there seems to be a small bias toward healthcare and AI founders. Technically we only have 3 more openings, but if you end up on the waitlist and I know you personally, just let me know and I'll take you off the waitlist ?? To keep the group tight and mostly founders-only, the location will be revealed to approved attendees only. It'll be at a cocktail bar in lower/mid-Manhattan, 6:45 PM - 8:45 PM, Friday, October 4. Hope to see you there! Here's a video of our last event ?? https://lnkd.in/gscHP29B cc Blueprint Health LLC AgeTech Collaborative? from AARP StartUp Health Village Capital
