									<h4 id="hc9-ventures-guiding-healthcare-startups-through-strategic-capital-and-industry-expertise">HC9 Ventures: Guiding Healthcare Startups Through Strategic Capital and Industry Expertise</h4>
<p>In a recent interview, HC9 Ventures co-founder Richard Lungen discussed his firm’s approach to healthcare venture capital, which extends beyond financial investment to provide emerging healthcare companies with strategic insights and industry connections. Driven by a seasoned team, HC9 Ventures is keenly focused on providing portfolio companies with resources that support commercialization, strengthen go-to-market strategies, and accelerate growth.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re passionate about early-stage healthcare companies,&#8221; Lungen shared. &#8220;Young companies in this field don’t just need capital; they need actionable, strategic support to help bring their innovations to market in a sustainable way.&#8221;</p>
<h4 id="building-an-unmatched-healthcare-ecosystem">Building an Unmatched Healthcare Ecosystem</h4>
<p>One of HC9’s standout features is its impressive ecosystem of limited partners (LPs), which comprises over 130 healthcare industry veterans with experience across payer, provider, and lab sectors. This collective expertise allows HC9 to pair startups with the right advisors and partners, ensuring they receive tailored guidance for their specific challenges. Lungen explained, &#8220;Our LPs bring invaluable insights on everything from scaling operations to managing organizational challenges, giving startups more than just capital.&#8221;</p>
<h4 id="portfolio-companies-seeing-growth-and-impact">Portfolio Companies Seeing Growth and Impact</h4>
<p>HC9 Ventures has invested in a number of promising companies making strides in their fields. Lungen highlighted Forge Health, a behavioral health provider that has expanded from four to nearly 20 locations under HC9’s guidance, with a robust network of 160 clinicians. Similarly, Laguna Health, which focuses on using AI to streamline labor-intensive care management processes, recently secured partnerships with health plan provider Highmark and others.</p>
<p>In each case, HC9’s involvement goes beyond the boardroom. Lungen explained that the firm assists portfolio companies with everything from establishing advisory boards to engaging with health plans and payers on pricing and reimbursement discussions.</p>
<h4 id="strategic-approach-to-investments-and-the-importance-of-roi">Strategic Approach to Investments and the Importance of ROI</h4>
<p>In a highly competitive market, HC9 Ventures maintains a strong focus on due diligence, ensuring each investment aligns with the firm’s commitment to practical solutions that address real healthcare challenges. HC9 encourages its companies to establish a clear ROI early in their journey. “Healthcare organizations need to see a clear path to ROI,” Lungen noted. To this end, HC9 connects companies with actuarial experts who develop initial ROI models to streamline conversations with potential clients, an approach that helps accelerate sales cycles and build customer trust.</p>
<p>Ken Goulet, President at KRG Advisors, echoed this sentiment, adding, &#8220;Being referenceable and achieving real impact are essential for startups entering healthcare markets. The companies in HC9’s portfolio are succeeding because they prioritize real outcomes and build the foundation to prove them.&#8221;</p>
<h4 id="fund-two-and-what-lies-ahead-for-hc9">Fund Two and What Lies Ahead for HC9</h4>
<p>With Fund One nearly fully invested, HC9 Ventures has its sights set on the launch of Fund Two. Lungen shared plans to grow the fund’s size to further expand HC9&#8217;s support of early-stage healthcare companies, while staying committed to their strategic, high-impact investment model. Goulet expressed optimism about the continued demand for HC9&#8217;s approach, saying, &#8220;The momentum and reputation HC9 has built with both portfolio companies and LPs are strong. Fund Two will allow HC9 to make an even greater impact.&#8221;</p>
<p>As HC9 Ventures prepares for its next phase, its co-founder and partners are optimistic about the firm’s growing influence within healthcare. From its uniquely experienced LP network to its focus on ROI-driven, strategic investment, HC9 is setting a new standard in venture capital for the healthcare sector. The firm’s dedication to developing solutions that address genuine market needs has made it a sought-after partner for healthcare startups striving to make a meaningful impact.</p>								</div>

									<p><b>Q:</b> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emma, you mentioned that Create Health Ventures aims to improve access to care, enhance the patient experience, and facilitate better health outcomes. Could you elaborate on how the firm identifies the most promising startups to meet these objectives?</span></i></p><p><b>Emma Cartmell:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Much of our pipeline comes from payers and consultants who know what we are looking for and share effective companies they discover with us. Once a company enters the diligence process, we always talk to their customers and dive into the data that quantifies how they are improving outcomes. If the data isn’t trending in the right direction, we won’t invest. Companies that move the needle in providing access, enhance the patient experience, and improve outcomes will be successful.</span></p><p><b>Q:</b> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Can you provide examples of specific innovations or technologies that you believe will make the most significant impact in these areas?</span></i></p><p><b>Emma Cartmell:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> We have several in our portfolio:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.pairteam.com/"><b>Pair Team:</b></a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> This company connects vulnerable Medicaid patients to local care teams that help them access clinical, behavioral, and social services. This population accounts for a disproportionate percentage of healthcare spend largely because they have struggled to access relevant care. We believe Pair Team’s coordination of clinicians, behavioral health specialists, and community health workers is ideally positioned to address these challenges and deliver significant improvements while reducing the burden on Medicaid.</span></span><p> </p></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.nmible.com/"><b>Nmible:</b></a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Nmible provides a platform that enables fast and easy reimbursement for participants in clinical trials. The software improves clinical trial performance by reducing the financial burden on participants and the administrative burden on trial sites. It stood out as a market-leading platform because of its intuitive user interface and ability to solve the reimbursement needs of a broad range of customers, including trial sites, CROs, and pharmaceutical companies.</span></span><p> </p></li><li><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://watershedhealth.com/"><b>Watershed Health:</b></a></span> This care collaboration platform reduces readmission rates, improves care quality, and enhances the patient experience by driving the right behaviors and decisions across multiple providers. We were very impressed with Watershed’s ability to aggregate comprehensive and relevant healthcare data and deliver timely guidance during the patient’s care journey.<br /></span></li></ul>								</div>

									<p><b>Q:</b> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amit, you highlighted the importance of payer-facing technologies and the digital experience for health plan members. How do you see these technologies evolving in the next 5 years, and what role does Create Health Ventures plan to play in that evolution?</span></i></p><p><b>Amit Aysola:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> A key focus of Create Health Ventures is investing in payer-facing technologies, as payers are subsidizing or paying for provider-facing technologies to execute on value-based models and improve member experiences. Health plan members often have an insurance card in their wallet without an accompanying digital experience like they do in most other facets of their lives. Payers want to fix that by digitizing the member experience to better help them navigate their healthcare. The biggest challenge in healthcare is still the lack of data and workflow connectivity among stakeholders. By backing technologies that sell to health plans, our firm is enabling more seamless data and workflow aggregation that will change the game for payers, providers, and patients. Additionally, payers are able to more effectively scale these technology solutions across geographies, reaching a larger pool of stakeholders.</span></p><p><b>Q:</b> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">What are the main challenges these technologies face in achieving widespread adoption among payers, and how do you think they can be overcome?</span></i></p><p><b>Amit Aysola:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The payers have clearly shared their intent to move in this direction. The challenge is always timing and budgets. Our thesis is that if we can make a significant impact in reducing costs by improving care, then companies will pay for that value. We’ve found that when we can demonstrate a real ROI for the payers, driving adoption becomes much easier.</span></p><p><b>Q:</b> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the increasing number of late-stage clinical trials, what specific technologies or innovations is Create Health Ventures focusing on to improve recruitment and retention of participants?</span></i></p><p><b>Amit Aysola:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> We are investing in technologies that strengthen pharmaceutical companies’ ability to recruit and retain patients in clinical trials. Currently, the pharmaceutical industry has many point solutions, but there is a lack of data and workflow connectivity. There is a massive need for innovation in this field as the number of late-stage trials is increasing rapidly. More robust and holistic technology solutions that enable the recruitment and retention of trial participants are what’s needed to keep up with this rising demand.</span></p><p><b>Q:</b> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Given the current landscape, what do you believe are the critical factors for success in the clinical trial technology space?</span></i></p><p><b>Amit Aysola:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Companies need to make the entire experience simpler, easier, and more like a consumer journey. They have to start by improving each component of the process, from recruiting to measuring progress during the trial to enabling patient retention. This need exists across the entire clinical trial site landscape, from provider organizations to CROs.</span></p>								</div>
