About Ziegler Link-Age Funds

Ziegler Link-Age Funds, accessible through ziegler.com with LinkedIn and Crunchbase profiles, is a US-based investment platform jointly managed by Ziegler, a long-established healthcare investment bank, and Link-Age Ventures, a senior living and aging-services innovation network. The fund’s strategic mandate is explicitly focused on technologies and services for the senior living, post-acute care, and aging-services sectors, with limited partners drawn from major senior living operators and aging-services organizations. For healthcare AI founders, Ziegler Link-Age is a credible primary target if you are building products specifically for senior living operators, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, or hospice and palliative care: AI-driven fall prediction, ambient monitoring for older adults, dementia care technology, medication management for polypharmacy, staffing optimization for senior care facilities, and care coordination platforms for aging populations. Generalist digital health plays, pediatric or maternal health technology, and pure clinical software without a senior care angle are not the right fit. Check sizes for Ziegler Link-Age typically span USD 500K to USD 3M with capacity for follow-on through Ziegler’s broader healthcare investment platform. Geographic preference is US-anchored. Best entry path is a warm introduction through a senior living industry executive, particularly LeadingAge or NIC ecosystem connectors, an existing portfolio CEO, or Ziegler’s healthcare investment banking team. The first meeting should center on commercial pilots with senior living operators, ROI metrics specific to the senior care economic model, and clinical evidence relevant to the aging population; founders without senior care fluency will struggle here, while specialists will find a sector-native partner with strategic depth few others can match.
