Health Gap Ventures

About The Fund

Health Gap Ventures is a venture capital firm that specializes in investing in digital health and diagnostics that target underserved populations. They focus on improving affordability, accessibility, inclusion, and prevention for those affected by health disparities related to ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, and ability. Unlike many in the healthcare venture sector, Health Gap Ventures confronts investor bias by prioritizing innovations that tackle health inequities—a segment that is often overlooked and underinvested, as evidenced by the lack of focused investment despite the significant funding flowing into healthcare ventures. Their investment strategy encompasses industries such as AgroTech, HealthTech & Fitness, Food & Beverage, Human Resources, Impact, Medical Devices & Hospital Services, Healthcare & Wellness, Consumer, and Woman Focused. With a commitment to seed and Series A rounds, Health Gap Ventures seeks investment opportunities with a minimum amount of $100,000 and a maximum of $7,500,000, preferring to invest around $2,500,000. They leverage a Health Gap Score Card to measure the potential impact of their investments and support entrepreneurs who have a deep understanding of the complexities at the intersection of community characteristics, such as ethnicity and social status, all with the vision that one's Zip Code should not determine their life expectancy. Their emphasis is on forging a start-up healthcare equity ecosystem centered around affordability, access, inclusion, prevention, and addressing environmental health disparities.
