SpringTide Ventures is built by repeat health-tech founders who previously started, scaled, and exited healthcare companies themselves, with a Chief Medical Officer and clinical operators embedded directly into the VC platform rather than only as advisors. The firm operates as a distributed healthcare deal network with 22 venture partners and runs Wave Summit and Wave Labs as its own content platform, giving portfolio founders direct access to policy-makers and system leaders while focusing on structurally underserved populations like patients without apps/Wi-Fi and Medicaid-heavy populations.
