We are proud to announce 8VC Fund VI, with $998 million in new LP capital.
In 2023, the U.S. federal government spent a staggering $1.5 trillion on healthcare, yet Americans are becoming unhealthier by key measures like obesity, maternal mortality, and life expectancy. This unsustainable trajectory not only undermines public health but threatens the fiscal future, with healthcare spending growing faster than the economy and consuming nearly 30% of the federal budget. Despite challenges, the path forward lies in incentivizing innovation, reforming payment structures, liberating healthcare data, and reducing fraud. By fostering a competitive, entrepreneurial healthcare system and embracing cutting-edge technologies like AI, the U.S. has the potential to improve health outcomes while controlling costs and ensuring a brighter, healthier future.
The AI-powered storytelling format that gives your work the edge it deserves.
In the spirit of sharing some lessons from our events, earlier this year we had the pleasure of hosting Keith Peiris and Henri Liriani, the co-founders of Tome, at our monthly Chat8VC gatherings in April.
