What’s the current landscape of the digital health ecosystem? This week in New York, we hosted our first series for Founders & Funders. We discussed corporate partnerships and digital health with builders and investors across the health ecosystem who braved the rain to join us. Managing Partner, Kanyi Maqubela, gathered insights from our experts on what they’re seeing in the digital health ecosystem, including how payers and providers are partnering with digital health companies and the opportunity for real AI adoption. 

Thank you to Jeffrey Wessler of Heartbeat Health, Jon Sklaroff of Optum Ventures, Jane Rho of DaVita Kidney Care, and Rebecca Kaden of Union Square Ventures. Attendees took away lessons about scaling B2B contracts, securing big health system contracts, corporate investor involvement, and the challenges and opportunities in value-based care.

Shout out to our sponsor Silicon Valley Bank and our friends at Union Square Ventures for hosting us.

Stay tuned for more thought-provoking conversations in this series. If you’d like to partner on future Founder & Funder events, please reach out.

Today, I’m incredibly excited to launch Nexa's waitlist and (finally) announce our $1M pre-seed round led by Kindred Ventures!

Nexa is an AI-powered analytics platform where companies can chat with their data, extract insights, and build dashboards in plain English, not SQL or code.

Get instant responses ⚡ to questions like:

🔍 “How many users signed up last week?”
📈 “What is our net dollar retention by cohort?”
📊 “Who are our top 10 customers by revenue?”

Behind the scenes, Nexa handles all the complexity of understanding your business, your metrics, and your data structures, so it can write accurate SQL and create charts, tables and summaries — all instantly.

Take days worth of work down to minutes ⏱️ and let your stakeholders self-serve so you’re never the bottleneck.

It’s how we’ve always wanted to interact with data, and it’s finally here!

Read more in our blog post and join the waitlist 🚀
