Private equity consolidation within healthcare can lead to efficiency and quality benefits, but has instead too often led to poor outcomes and underinvestment in fundamental innovation. I wrote the linked article in HIT Consultant Media suggesting a few ways for private capital investors to improve how we fund healthcare.

Raising venture capital is historically difficult, and Steve Jobs' experience raising money for fledgling Apple Computer outlined below is a case in point. Some key takeaways for entrepreneurs are: 1. Lead with product; 2. Persevere and build proof; no does not mean no forever; and 3. Conviction among investors is often built as a network function. Apple's seed financing timeline: 1. Tom Perkins and Eugene Kleiner (Kleiner Perkins) refused to meet Jobs. 2. Bill Draper dismissed Jobs and Wozniak as "arrogant" after an associate's visit. 3. Pitch Johnson doubted home computers, asking, "Are you going to put recipes on it?" 4. Stan Veit rejected Jobs' $10,000 offer for 10% of Apple, mistrusting Jobs' appearance. 5. Nolan Bushnell declined to buy one-third of Apple for $50,000 but introduced Jobs to Don Valentine, founder of Sequoia. 6. Regis McKenna refused to design Apple's commercials for a 20% stake, saying, "20% of nothing is worth approximately nothing," but also introduced Jobs to Valentine. 7. Don Valentine was skeptical but guided Jobs on management and marketing. Valentine introduced Jobs to three contacts; Mike Markkula, the third, saw potential in Wozniak's design and invested $91,000 for 26% of Apple, becoming its first angel investor. Markkula convinced McKenna to help Apple with publicity, leading to the creation of Apple's iconic logo. Markkula persuaded Venrock's Hank Smith to invest $300,000 for 10% of Apple. Eventually, Don Valentine invested a small portion, believing his presence on Apple's board would be beneficial. H/t to Angelos Georgakis for the graphic and storyline.
