NLC Health Ventures

We could not agree more Matthew Burris! In the early stage, and especially in a high-tech environment, the venture builder model will need to adapt to its industry. What we do know for sure is: 🌍 Focus on impact: are the ventures you built truly solving a need, or in our case have an impact on patients or healthcare professionals? 🚀 Scale is key: it increases learning, reduces costs, and brings value to all partners involved 👩⚕️ Build in-house expertise and a world-class ecosystem: to be able to find the best ideas and entrepreneurs, build innovations out to successful ventures, and scale the start-ups to the market 💰 And by reducing risk through diversification, scale and expertise, you make the early-stage investible for #investors, enabling more capital to flow to your ventures and bring even more science to life. #healthcare #innovation #startup #scaleup #medtech #biotech #digitalhealth
