About Launchpad Digital Health
Launchpad Digital Health is a San Francisco-based seed-stage fund and accelerator focused exclusively on digital health, founded by Bryan Roberts adjacent veterans of the digital health ecosystem and operating with a thesis built around backing capital-efficient, mission-driven digital health founders early. The fund writes initial checks of roughly $250K to $1M at seed and pre-seed, typically as a co-investor with selective small lead capacity, and provides hands-on operational support including go-to-market guidance, regulatory navigation, and warm introductions to follow-on investors. Healthcare exposure is total and concentrated in digital health software, care delivery, and selectively diagnostics. AI focus is welcome where it sits inside a defensible commercial digital health business. Founders best suited are seed and pre-seed digital health CEOs with a clear payer, provider, or employer buyer, who want an active, healthcare-native partner with deep operational support and strong follow-on relationships at firms like Venrock, Define Ventures, and General Catalyst’s healthcare practice. Founders who do not fit include therapeutics, devices, consumer wellness without a clinical buyer, and growth-stage rounds. Geographic preference is US with a Bay Area bias but no hard regional constraint. The entry path is warm introduction through a portfolio CEO, a Bay Area digital health operator, or a co-investor. LinkedIn outreach to a partner with a focused traction-led summary is a reasonable secondary option. Expect a hands-on diligence process and a partner that values capital efficiency and clinical evidence.
