Healthcare Shares

About

We’re a team of entrepreneurs and venturers building a community of healthcare professionals invested in healthcare innovation. We know what it takes to build successful companies, and we use that knowledge to supercharge a portfolio of clinician and practitioner founders tackling the biggest challenges and taking advantage of the biggest opportunities in healthcare.

We are exclusively focused on healthcare.

The majority of our investors are healthcare professionals and clinicians and all of our startups are focused on healthcare. We know how hard healthcare is and we are here to help.

Physicians have backed us from the start.

Our CEO & Founder, Laurence Girard, successfully raised over $24M in capital from more than 500 physician investors who invested in Fruit Street Health, his telemedicine startup. Many of these physicians were the founding investors in Healthcare Shares. We know what it is like to raise capital from healthcare professionals at scale.

We are focused on social impact.

By listing your company on Healthcare Shares, you are working with a company this is not just focused on profit, but one that is actually having a social impact in healthcare.

We’ve created a network of investors who advise entrepreneurs.

By investing in campaigns on Healthcare Shares, you can be an evangelist for your investment and provide advice to the entrepreneurs innovating the products that you believe in.

We market campaigns through our network of thousands of clinicians.

Many crowdfunding platforms expect entrepreneurs to do all the marketing work, but we actively advertise their campaigns on platforms like LinkedIn and throughout our clinician network.

Wavemaker Three-Sixty Health

What differentiates Wavemaker 360 the most is the fact that the majority of our investors come from the healthcare industry. We think of them as our company's lifeguards, providing all sorts of support and services to our portfolio companies. Wavemaker 360’s Limited Partners include healthcare corporates, family offices with healthcare backgrounds, and more than 100 individual investors that have spent their career in the healthcare industry. Collectively this group of investors is our secret weapon and superpower - they are willing and able to commercially support the companies we invest into. In fact, for many of them, getting more connectivity to healthcare innovation is a primary reason they are involved with Wavemaker 360. These Limited Partners combine to make Wavemaker 360 the most strategic healthcare-focused venture fund in the US and give the fund an “unfair advantage” when it comes to sourcing high quality investment opportunities, evaluating early-stage companies, and providing commercial support post-investment.

NLC

Bert-Arjan Millenaar, CEO and founder of NLC, went through this first-hand. His experience proves why NLC is an essential company that significantly impacts society every day. In May 2014, Bert-Arjan became the proud father of a little girl. Unfortunately, she was born prematurely, leaving him helpless next to her incubator. He desperately wanted nothing more than to hold his little girl and bring her home. At the time, Bert-Arjan didn’t know that a professor across the country was working on an invention that could have prevented his pain. A lack of entrepreneurship and network kept the professors’ innovation (Concord Neonatal) out of our healthcare system. Unfortunately, this is just one of many stories with the same plot: a patient is in critical need of equipment that has not yet been brought to the market. We at NLC have made it our mission to change this. We find inventions, select the most promising ones, and build them into viable healthtech ventures to advance health. Since 2015, NLC has evaluated thousands of inventions and built over 100 ventures. We have a great team of dedicated employees and industry experts (+3000 individuals) who enable us to continue our mission daily. We guarantee that you are in safe, trustworthy hands! Together we are building ventures and advancing health for patients worldwide. In addition, we are an experienced fund manager that makes healthcare innovation investible for retail and institutional investors. HOW DO WE ACHIEVE SUCCESS? THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT SCALE! We strongly believe that the most successful way to bring more healthtech inventions to patients is by using entrepreneurship at scale. Entrepreneurship is essential to get a venture through the early stages, and this is where you need to put in the hard work on many levels simultaneously. The dedication of the CEOs and their team is crucial to getting the venture to the market successfully. By building ventures at scale, we can benefit from the data and learnings we’ve harvested along the way. We know the pitfalls. We know the shortcuts. We try hard, and if we fail, we fail fast. To support a venture, we build teams around it that know what it takes to make a venture successful. We surround our CEOs with expertise and support in all areas, from helping to secure finance, providing advice on patents and certifications, training the team on sales, and everything in between. OUR NETWORK Our network is essential to us and plays a crucial role in our journey to success. Committed specialists worldwide support our team through our venture-building process. We partner with 4 groups of people, and together we strive for success! Inventors and research institutes that want to bring their inventions to the market with us, Medical, technical and business specialists that help us evaluate the inventions, Investors that are willing to take the risk and invest in early seed start-ups, Entrepreneurs and advisors that help us grow the ventures we have built. Together, we overcome fragmentation so we can build ventures and advance health. HOW DO WE HELP YOU LOWER YOUR RISK CURVE? NLC operates at the beginning of the risk curve, where the risk is high, and the invested capital is relatively low. This opens the opportunity for us to make an impact by utilising our entrepreneurship at scale to lower the risk curve of our ventures. Our ventures are de-risked at a faster rate with low(er) costs, which scales NLC’s portfolio further (statistically) and de-risks our model. This means fewer risks and more rewards!
