PACE Healthcare Capital

The J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference #JPM2025 always delivers on its promises: what a fabulous opportunity to catch up with networks, make new connections, dig into trends, and mobilize around the topics that we care about. And we all hate-but-enjoy the “JPM terrain” – who doesn’t love conducting critical business meetings in emptied hotel rooms, or perched on a single foot of wall space at the Starbucks in the Hilton Union Square. This year, at least, we were treated to bright sunshine and dry strolls between meetings in San Francisco! ?????? ?????????????????? ???????? ???????? ????????’?? ??????????????????: ????? ?????????????????? ???????????? ?????? ????????. While the healthcare sector is facing significant uncertainty with the incoming administration—perhaps the most in recent years—the atmosphere was notably vibrant. People were engaged, eager, and ready to act, setting a fresh tone compared to prior years. ??????????????????????????? ?????? ??????????’?? ????????????. Maintaining and expanding progress in women’s health was a central conversation. Attending the PEWIN - Private Equity Women Investor Network event on Sunday brought so much energy, featuring Liz Powell, Co-Founder of Women's Health PAC, Kristen Dahlgren, former NBC Correspondent and Founder and CEO of Cancer Vaccine Coalition, and Ricki Pollycove, a renowned Bay Area OBGYN. And it was amazing to see a sea of pink on Tuesday – special thanks to Ted Haack for always being an ally. ??????????????????????? ??????????-?????? ????????????. I had the privilege of meeting so many exciting start-ups and entrepreneurs, and I’m beyond excited about deploying capital in 2025 to drive meaningful impact. Special thanks to Frederique Dame, and gratitude to the Oak HC/FT and GV (Google Ventures) teams for hosting an incredible breakfast gathering. A shoutout to Cooley LLP, Nader Elrashidy, and Christina Roupas for bringing the Midwest community together! ????????????????? ?????? ??????????????????????. A huge thank-you to Amin Jallouli and the Bridge Funding Global team for supporting PACE Healthcare Capital. Amin went above and beyond—whether it was a fabulous work-walk, fueling me with caffeine before investor meetings, or personally ensuring I arrived on time, I couldn’t be more grateful for partners like you. ??????????? ???? ????????????????...? No trip to San Francisco is complete without amazing food. It was great catching up with the fabulous Ling Kung to talk about healthcare tech trends, juggling careers and families as women in our 40s, and staying (mostly) sane—all over a delicious Cantonese feast. Truly, good food solves a lot of things… For me, this year’s JPM is officially wrapped, though I know many are still hard at work covering ground. Looking forward to seeing what 2025 has in store.

?? Yesterday, the PACE Healthcare Capital team (Julia Monfrini Peev Liz Yuhas Nans RIVAT, Kate Wolin) attended a great event celebrating the book launch of "The Coming Healthcare Revolution: 10 Forces That Will Cure America’s Health Crisis" written by David Johnson and Paul Kusserow ? ??? The event was hosted by Abundant Venture Partners (Eric Langshur) and 4sight Health. It was great to catch up with familiar faces (Lyle Berkowitz, MD, FACP, FHIMSS), and meet new ones as we work toward a better healthcare future. ? ?? ?The conversation emphasized that #healthcare #innovation is about improving lives, making affordable, personalized care a critical goal: ? ?? The US excels in life-saving care but needs to strengthen preventative care and empower individuals. ?? ?Aligning incentives and restructuring payment systems are essential for efficiency and impact. ?? ?Rebuilding social capital, as highlighted in Bowling Alone, can improve health outcomes. ? Thank you to Abundant Venture Partners and 4sight Health for hosting such a thought-provoking conversation.

?? ?? Excited to share our latest article on the evolving landscape of #telehealth, written by Liz Yuhas with support from Julia Monfrini Peev. Many thanks to Annette Kenney and everyone we spoke with for sharing their insights and expertise!

???We are thrilled to see our portfolio company,?Prenosis,?published in a peer-reviewed article in the?New England Journal of Medicine AI (NEJM AI) for its breakthrough product, the Sepsis ImmunoScore?—the first?FDA-authorized AI tool for sepsis!? ? ?? This peer-reviewed article highlights the transformative power of clinically-validated AI in sepsis care. The Sepsis ImmunoScore?, validated in NEJM AI, demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy while simultaneously predicting critical outcomes such as mortality, ICU admission, and ventilation needs. By integrating multi-dimensional inputs, such vital signs, lab data, and sepsis-specific biomarkers, it provides actionable insights that enhance decision-making and save lives. ? ???This study also further shows that #AI, when clinically validated, can be a reliable, comprehensive tool to assist providers with identification of patients at high risk of some of the deadliest conditions in the #hospital – like #sepsis. ? ? Congratulations to Bobby Reddy, Jr., and the entire Prenosis team for this game-changing innovation. At PACE Healthcare Capital, we’re proud to support impactful advancements that redefine patient care.

???Alloy Women's Health,?a?PACE Healthcare Capital?portfolio company, announced today in?Fortune?(Emma Hinchliffe) that they’ve raised $16 million?of capital. We’re beyond proud to?have supported the company as investors since 2021 and participated in this funding as the company completes its Series A. ? ?? Co-founded by Monica Molenaar and Anne Fulenwider, Alloy is redefining menopause care in a $17 billion global market that has long been overlooked. By prioritizing accessibility, transparency, and evidence-based solutions, they are setting a new standard for advancing women's health in midlife and beyond. ? ?? Alloy Health combines telehealth, prescriptions, and a supportive community to address the unique needs of women over 40. For decades, menopause has been treated as a "wellness" topic instead of a medical one, leaving millions of women to suffer in silence. Alloy is changing that by empowering women to find personalized solutions that truly work. ? ?? We’re thrilled to partner with Kairos HQ, Emmeline Ventures, Amboy Street Ventures, and many other incredible investors, to champion Alloy in its next phase of growth. At PACE, we’ve also loved the management team’s disciplined approach to growth, which aligns with our values and defies the traditional laws of venture. Cherry on the cake - here, it isn’t just about investing in a company. It’s about driving a movement to destigmatize menopause and create meaningful health solutions for women. ? ?? Congratulations to the Alloy team! Your work is paving the way for better care, better conversations, and better outcomes for women everywhere. ??
