Health Velocity Capital

Health Velocity Capital is a growth-stage fund based in San Francisco and Nashville investing in digital health and healthcare software companies that sell to payers, providers, and employers. The partners come from operating roles at companies like HealthMarkets and Surgical Care Affiliates, and the fund has built an LP base of national health plans and large provider systems that creates a tangible distribution advantage for portfolio companies. Checks generally run $10M to $25M into companies with $5M to $25M in ARR and clear category leadership in narrow lanes such as value-based care enablement, behavioral health technology, and benefits navigation. AI is not advertised as a top-of-funnel theme, but Health Velocity will fund AI-enabled software where it sharpens unit economics in an existing reimbursement model rather than creating one. Founders who fit are commercial-stage CEOs with multi-year payer contracts, net revenue retention above 110 percent, and a need for capital plus payer-side warm introductions. Founders who do not fit include seed and Series A teams, life sciences, devices, and consumer wellness plays without an enterprise buyer. The entry path is warm introduction through a portfolio CEO, a healthcare investment banker, or one of the LP health plans. LinkedIn outreach to a partner with a tight metric-led teaser can also work given the firm’s small size. Expect rigorous commercial diligence and a partner who will sit on the board; Health Velocity is most useful as a scale-up partner, not a product-stage investor.
