About Jan Garfinkle

Jan Garfinkle is one of the few leading U.S. venture investors who built a top-tier healthcare fund from Ann Arbor rather than a coastal hub, deliberately proving that a Midwest-based firm can consistently generate strong returns in capital-efficient healthcare companies. She brings a rare blend of operating experience from both a major medical device company and a large energy company, and has testified before the U.S. Senate on expanding American entrepreneurship and access to capital from the perspective of a healthcare investor in the Midwest.
