Todd Saxton

Todd Saxton is a Regenstrief Institute-affiliated entrepreneurship professor and Indianapolis-based solo angel writing under-$25k checks at pre-seed and seed in health IT software and digital health, with no AI flag. The very small check size and academic-affiliated profile (no LinkedIn, Twitter, or Crunchbase listed) suggest this is small, academic-network-driven angel activity rather than a programmatic investment vehicle. Founders building Indianapolis or Midwest-based health IT software, digital health platforms with academic medical center connections, or companies that benefit from Regenstrief and Indiana University Health network access are the natural fit. He is the wrong audience for biotech, devices, consumer wellness, AI-heavy plays where the AI is the entire thesis, or anything outside his Midwest-academic-anchored orbit. The very small check size means he is functionally an academic-network advisor-with-check rather than a meaningful capital source. Outreach via the Regenstrief website is one channel, with warm introductions through the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, Indianapolis health-tech community, or Regenstrief Institute networks materially help; cold outreach via the Regenstrief site is low-yield. Without a LinkedIn or Twitter listed, intelligence on his program is thin, and founders should heavily deprioritize him relative to more programmatic Midwest angels. Best treated as a regionally specific academic-network angel for the right Indiana-anchored founder.
