WHO ARE WE?
NLC Health Ventures is dedicated to advancing health, making it accessible for everyone. By using entrepreneurship at scale, our unique NLC approach allows us to find inventions, and create and support ventures that have the potential to reach the patient.
We identify promising innovations at early stages, pair them with entrepreneurial CEOs and empower them to drive their start-ups from incorporation to exit, emphasizing the critical role of attracting investment along the way. With a proven track record of building 100+ ventures in just nine years, we are primed for accelerated growth and impact.
We thrive on a culture of Together, Open, Decisive, and Optimistic (TODO). This means valuing every team member's contribution, fostering open communication, and embracing a proactive, flat organizational structure where your ideas and impact matter more than your title. If you're a self-starter who believes in collaboration and making a tangible difference, you'll feel right at home.
