Reaching the Underserved
Our portfolio companies are breaking down barriers for underserved populations—whether through primary health services to low-income patients in Kenya or culturally competent care for people of color in the US.

Theory of Change
We don’t want to just reach lives, we want to improve them… and do this through sustainable business models that can scale and grow to impact millions of patients and inspire other innovators around the world.

  • Scale – the number of patients reached or HCPs supported
  • Access – the extent of reach to underserved populations
  • Depth – the degree of improvement to health outcomes
