#HealthTechDeals Episode 11: MindMaze, Memora Health, Ro, PriorAuthNow, and Equip

On this episode of Health Tech Deals, Ian Morrison is pinch-hitting for Jessica DaMassa! Ian and I worked together 25+ years ago, and he’s been sitting in Silicon Valley looking at the American health care system for a long long time. Some deals – MindMaze raises $105M; Memora Health raises $40M; Ro raises $150M; PriorAuthNow raises $25M; Equip raises $58M. Ian also shares his opinions on the American health system and the digital health space–Matthew Holt

TRANSCRIPT

Ian Morrison:

Hi there, I’m Jess DaMassa. Actually, no, Jess DaMassa. Jess DaMassa is a friend of mine and I am no Jess DaMassa. I am Ian Morrison.

Quickbites: Equip; SameSky, Jenny Schneider (GC) & Calibrate

I’ve decided to try a new format for some interviews with digital health leaders. The other week I was at the Digital Health Innovation Summit in San Diego. I did a fair amount of tweeting from the conference but thought I’d also grab a few of the participants for some rapid fire interviews. They’re only 5 mins each but hopefully this “Quickbite” format will catch you up on some interesting players (even as they got buffeted a bit by the wind and the marine air corp!)–Matthew Holt

The Interviewees are. Kristina Saffran, CEO Equip; Abner Mason, CEO SameSky Health; Jennifer Schneider, ex-Livongo and now EIR at General Catalyst; & Isabelle Kenyon, CEO Calibrate: Their videos are below in order
