“Nurturing Healthcare Innovation: Insights from Rebright’s First Healthcare Mixer”

Few sectors hold as much promise and societal impact as healthcare. For Rebright, the healthcare domain has been not only a focus but also a realm where some of our earliest and most successful investments have flourished. As we continue our journey, the excitement persists, fueled by the vision of mission-driven founders who are shaping the future of healthcare solutions.

In a bid to foster collaboration and create a vibrant ecosystem, Rebright recently hosted its inaugural Healthcare Mixer under “Founder’s Forge” – A series of intimate invite-only closed door discussion series where early stage founders get to have open discussions with the fund and portfolio founders of that domain. This unique event served as a melting pot, bringing together late-stage founder with those at the inception of their journey.

The goal? To facilitate meaningful interactions and knowledge exchange among some of the most promising healthcare innovators and our esteemed portfolio company founders, who have been navigating this complex terrain for a considerable time.

We had the privilege of hosting portfolio founders – Satish Kannan, the founder of Medibuddy and Khet Singh – the founder of claimbuddy along with early founders – Abhineet and Ritika from Rockethealth, Nivesh from Nivaan, Pratik from Peping, and Nitthin from Medpiper.
