About the role
- Identify white space in healthcare where AI-native businesses can create outsized outcomes. Develop original, high-conviction investment theses grounded in deep market understanding, clinician pain points, and structural tailwinds. Generate concepts that are bold, differentiated, and commercially viable. Validate theses through primary conversations with clinicians, operators, payers, and potential customers—not just desktop research. Draft compelling collateral that attracts world-class founders to Redesign’s platform.
- Find top 1% founders and convince them that Redesign is their best path to building a generational healthcare company. Build a network that surfaces exceptional talent before anyone else sees them. Present concepts and Redesign’s strategic leverage compellingly enough that founders choose us over well-funded alternatives. Lead a collaborative diligence process (“co-ideation”) to transform thematic areas into venture-scale business concepts. Evaluate concept potential and founder-market fit with the judgment to say no quickly when conviction is lacking—time spent on mediocre opportunities is time away from exceptional ones.
- Stress-test your own theses harder than anyone else will. Identify the 2–3 questions that truly matter for each investment and resolve them through primary conversations and expert input. Shepherd founders and concepts to the Investment Committee with clarity, speed, and honest representation of risks.
- Develop a robust pipeline of exceptional founders through proactive sourcing across VC networks, healthcare operator communities, and the broader startup ecosystem. Build and maintain deep relationships with tier-one venture capital firms, healthcare incumbents, and strategic investors. Be the person that founders proactively seek out, VCs call for pipeline intelligence, and the industry turns to for a healthcare venture perspective. Your network is a compounding asset—invest in it every week.
- Act as the primary interface between portfolio founders and Redesign’s platform. Deliver the firm’s strategic leverage: domain expertise, go-to-market acceleration, fundraising positioning, and governance insight. Represent Redesign through a single non-controlling board seat where appropriate. Build trusted relationships with founding teams so they proactively seek your input—be the first person they call in a crisis. Know when to lean in and when to step back; the founder’s success is the only thing that matters.
- Serve as a healthcare thought leader internally and externally. Teach the organization about emerging healthcare × AI opportunities—what’s interesting, why it matters, and how the market is evolving. Proactively mobilize cross-functional teams (Venture Traction, Founder Strategy, legal, finance, technology) early in the deal process. Feed insights from founders, market conversations, and co-ideation back into Redesign’s platform capabilities. Represent Redesign externally with the credibility and depth that makes world-class founders want to have a conversation.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree required; MBA preferred, with a record of high academic achievement.
- 10+ years of experience with a significant portion in venture capital, company building, or early-stage investing. Direct experience evaluating founders and making investment decisions at the pre-seed to Series A stage is strongly preferred.
- Deep healthcare domain expertise with the ability to develop original investment theses across care delivery, health tech, and healthcare services.
- Established network across the venture capital, healthcare operator, and startup ecosystems with a demonstrated ability to source and attract exceptional founding prospects.
- Fluency in business model analysis, investment thesis development, and financial modeling.
- Track record of end-to-end ownership—leading work from thesis to founder to investment decision with minimal oversight.
- Deep connectivity to startup ecosystem with a proven ability to identify and attract generational founders.
