Glen Tullman is a healthcare operator-turned-investor at 7wire Ventures whose personal experience with his son's Type 1 diabetes directly inspired him to create Livongo and drives his focus on building companies that simplify life for people with chronic conditions. He has a decades-long partnership with co-founder Lee Shapiro across multiple platforms including Allscripts, 7wire Ventures, Livongo, and Transcarent, positioning them as a rare operator-led duo that creates and scales category-defining companies rather than just backing existing startups.

• Commitment to increasing healthcare accessibility and affordability, particularly for underserved demographics. He consistently highlights investments in companies tackling structural inequities, such as Homeward for improving care delivery in rural areas and initiatives to lower the cost of insulin for diabetics.
• Focus on specific chronic conditions and specialized digital health verticals. His investment history shows a clear preference for platforms addressing distinct needs, such as Zerigo Health for chronic skin conditions and Caraway Health for women's reproductive and mental healthcare.
• Deep engagement with the self-insured employer market to completely redesign the employee benefits experience. He frequently discusses how his ventures partner with large corporations, like Walmart, to streamline pharmacy services and improve medication adherence for workforces.
• Emphasis on compassionate and people-centric leadership as a core driver of business success. He actively promotes the concept of the double bottom line and publicly praises executives who prioritize culture and employee mental health alongside financial growth.
• Strategy of building large-scale ecosystems through collaboration rather than isolation. He regularly touts heavy cooperation between his portfolio companies, health systems like Intermountain, and other venture firms like General Catalyst to drive broader industry change.
