Unity Stoakes, co-founder and President of OG health tech and digital health accelerator-and-investment-fund, StartUp Health, gives us his take on how the pandemic has impacted health entrepreneurs, investors, and the incumbent healthcare ecosystem. The big catalyst that Unity says has attracted $40 billion investment dollars to health tech in 2021: “The customers started showing up.”
We get into the “well, now what” that comes after all the pandemic hype and funding, and where Unity thinks the market is headed next. We talk consolidation, the future for point solutions, valuation corrections, cries for measurement of outcomes and impact, and discuss long-term scaling and growth via a superb analogy Unity makes to the early Internet days that starts, “Livongo going public was like Netscape 1994…”
And what’s ahead for StartUp Health? After more than a decade, 14 Moonshots, plans for a second StartUp Health Festival at HLTH 2022, and, as celebrated in this interview, their 400th investment in an early-stage healthcare startup, Unity lets us in on how the “accelerator that never ends” plans to continue to grow alongside the companies it's incubating.
