As HLTH, the biggest event in Healthcare innovation, kicks off in Las Vegas this week, Bessemer dropped it's robust State of Health tech report. A few of my main takeaways: 1. Health tech remains a significant focus for venture capital, despite broader economic uncertainty. 2. Health tech performance is in line with high-growth software stocks and the incumbent healthcare index. 3. The bar for success has undoubtedly risen. Investors are demanding clearer paths to profitability, more efficient growth, and a differentiated path to value creation. 4. The most exciting development of the past year has been the explosion of interest and innovation in AI within healthcare. Rock Health estimates that venture capitalists are allocating 38% of new investment dollars in healthcare to AI-enabled technology. 5. PE firms, continuing to seize the opportunity on historically low valuations, have been actively acquiring public health tech companies. 6. The influence of AI on health tech investments cannot be overstated: the share of health tech dollars invested in AI-focused companies has increased 1.5x in just two years. At 30-50x EV/ARR multiples, the valuations that some of these AI companies are commanding can range 2-5x higher than their non-AI counterparts. (great work as always Elena Tico Amie Rubenstein and Shannon Brayton as these reports are quite the lift 💪👩⚕️❤️ )
