The Council invests in founders who are reshaping essential industries relied on every day, focusing on making industrial sectors more efficient, reliable, and sustainable, as well as providing equal access to high-quality, low-cost healthcare.

The Council

We invest in founders who are reshaping outdated industries.

We believe in a world where top tier fintech products help the 99% grow their wealth and build businesses.

Where everyday people have transparent, efficient, and attentive healthcare experiences.

Where managers and front-line employees in legacy industries have tools that save time, increase transparency, and take minutes to learn (vertical SaaS).

So excited to welcome Emily Grigg into our community!

In February, we predicted a budding revolution in essential industries – "Software's Third Act" – that deeply informs our investment thesis at The Council Fund. Healthcare is one of the top five areas we believe will experience the biggest step change via vertical software over the next decade. The challenges are real, the founders are gritty, and the impact potential is unmatched. 

This week, we published the first edition in our series exploring trends and capital movement in our essential industries. We're going vertical by vertical, starting with healthcare. Highlights include:

🔔 Healthcare IPOs Return: Waystar and Tempus AI's recent debuts signal a renewed interest in investing in digital health solutions
👩‍💻 Digital Therapeutics making waves: The DTx market is booming, with MSK solutions showing particular promise.
💰 Funding Frenzy: Health and biotech startups are attracting significant investment in 2024.
🧑🏾‍🔬 Groundbreaking Innovations: From saliva-based pregnancy tests to AI-powered oncology and drug discovery platforms, the future of healthcare is here.
💼 Portfolio Powerhouse: Daybreak Health partners with Medi-Cal to expand access to mental health services for California youth.

can't say enough good things about this community. if you're a female tech operator, there is no better way to sharpen your thinking and grow your network of both diverse and like-minded women. 

there is (rightfully so) skepticism about paid angel communities and, unfortunately, there are a lot of bad actors in this space. but the work and intention that Amber Illig and Shriya Nevatia have invested in this community is enough reason to join, not to mention the quality deal flow.

let me know if you have any questions about joining! applications are open through late june
