Novant Health Innovation Lab

Novant Health Innovation Lab is the venture lab of Novant Health, a multi-state health system headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It backs tech-enabled service platforms that drive efficiency across the regional provider network, focusing on digital health and care delivery. AI is not a stated theme.

The group invests at seed and Series A with $1M to $5M check sizes. As with most health system investors, the capital is tied to operational fit and pilot opportunity inside Novant facilities. U.S. companies with relevance to large multi-site community and regional health systems are the natural audience, particularly those addressing throughput, workforce, and patient experience.

For founders, the realistic entry path runs through clinical or operational champions inside Novant rather than direct pitches to an investment desk. Be ready to outline a workable pilot, an EHR integration approach, and a procurement-friendly deployment model. Diligence usually combines venture economics with system-level operational considerations. Limited public information is available on the fund’s portfolio cadence and specific investments.
