Town Hall Ventures

At Town Hall Ventures, we seek to partner with entrepreneurs who are as passionate as we are about changing our health care system. When we invest, we will make a substantial commitment of our time, network and resources to support entrepreneurs and their investors through the ups and downs of building successful companies. It’s why we choose to invest in fewer opportunities than most and only in the most impactful - focusing all of our energy working side-by-side with our partners to create and scale the breakthrough companies that will transform health care. Our Mission Using innovation to fix health inequities. Those fortunate enough to be born in the right zip code live longer and healthier lives than those in communities next door. Systemically, people who represent diverse racial, ethnic and gender identities, especially when combined with lower socioeconomic status, experience substantially worse health outcomes in the United States. These inequities in health - physical, mental and social determinants - result in individual, community and national struggles. When we provide great health care to the least fortunate, we are benefiting our entire societal fabric. We have an opportunity to shift investment away from nice-to-have ideas to proven solutions that improve care for populations that have long been underserved. Innovations aimed at improving care have been slow to come to areas that need it most, including: primary care, mental health, addiction, end-of-life care, kidney care, maternity and newborn health. The costs of ignoring these issues are carried by everyone. Enter the mission-driven entrepreneur. Over the past few years, innovative health care delivery approaches that serve Medicare populations have begun to emerge. Entrepreneurs have brought a new focus on reinvigorating primary care and pushing care into more comfortable settings. These models are just getting started, touching only 2% of the Medicare population today, but have tremendous potential to transform health for millions more. Thanks to an improved set of incentives, similar innovation is now coming to Medicaid. Entrepreneurs are beginning to focus on the needs of this population with the goal of dramatically improving health outcomes for patients and providing value to the hospitals, managed care plans, and State and Federal governments who care for them. Companies who create effective solutions to these challenges have the opportunity to improve the lives of 120 million Americans.
