StartUp Health

StartUp Health is a prominent health innovation company based in New York City, dedicated to organizing and supporting a global army of "Health Transformers" to achieve ambitious "Health Moonshots." Founded in 2011, their unique model combines an accelerator-like academy with a venture investment arm, focusing on long-term partnerships with entrepreneurs committed to solving the world's most pressing health challenges, from curing disease to ending cancer and improving mental health. They emphasize a collaborative ecosystem, providing ongoing coaching, access to a vast network, and capital to help founders scale their ventures.

Their investment strategy is deeply integrated with their educational programs, targeting early-stage companies that demonstrate significant potential to disrupt and improve healthcare. StartUp Health has built an extensive portfolio, having invested in over 450 companies across 29 countries, reflecting their global reach and commitment to diverse health solutions. These portfolio companies have collectively gone on to raise over $11.8 billion in follow-on funding, underscoring the firm's ability to identify and nurture high-growth potential in the health tech sector. This significant capital attraction by their portfolio highlights the value of their network and support system.

While StartUp Health's initial engagement often begins with participation in their academy, their venture arm typically provides initial capital ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 for early-stage health tech startups. Beyond the initial investment, they actively support companies through subsequent funding rounds, leveraging their extensive network of investors and strategic partners. Their long-term commitment is further evidenced by the success of their portfolio, which boasts over 45 exits through IPOs and M&A, demonstrating a robust track record of guiding health innovations from concept to market success. StartUp Health positions itself not merely as a capital provider, but as a strategic partner fostering a movement to transform global health.
