Phillip Liu is a first-generation immigrant and Principal at Atomic who combines an unusually deep medical background—including an MD from Duke-NUS and experience as an internal medicine physician focused on value-based care and oncology medtech R&D—with venture capital expertise to lead healthcare company creation rather than just funding existing startups. He got his first taste of entrepreneurship at age 13 helping his father build a small business, and now chairs the Beacon Council's healthcare committee while championing Miami as a testbed for healthtech due to its diverse patient population and business-friendly environment.
