Wavemaker Three-Sixty Health is the leading U.S. early stage (Seed and Series A) venture capital fund focused 100% on healthcare. The fund is backed by healthcare LPs - both leading organizations and healthcare professionals - across providers (throughout the continuum of care), payers and pharma. This gives the fund a unique advantage when it comes to discovering compelling healthcare startups, evaluating their business models and investability, and most importantly, commercially supporting these early-stage health-tech companies. Wavemaker 360 invests into healthcare IT, digital health, medical device, pharma-tech, AI and science startups (it does not invest into bio-pharma companies). Wavemaker 360 is currently deploying capital out of its third fund.
