Bringing our supply chain team, dispersed across states, together in Tennessee last week for in-person strategy sessions was a fantastic opportunity to align and collaborate. Great seeing everyone!

What a fantastic event! A big thank you to the Claritas Capital team for hosting and the Holland & Knight LLP team for organizing such a thoughtful discussion on the State of Digital Health. Ryan M. spoke on the panel alongside Tania Jovanovic Grant (Claritas Capital) and Tyson Bickley (Holland & Knight LLP), with Baxter Lee (Clearwater) moderating. They shared incredible insights into the future of the industry. One key takeaway? Despite challenges, the panelists expressed optimism about 2025, noting there’s dry powder waiting to fund high-performing companies.

Our portfolio company, Silkline, is tackling supplier management head-on with an innovative collaboration platform designed to streamline procurement and simplify supplier engagement.

Higdon, Jason Judd, and Ryan M. To all Veterans, we are grateful for your service and sacrifices. Happy Veterans Day!

Last week, we launched our 25m Founder Dinner Series with an intimate gathering of founders, EIRs, and thought leaders. The evening featured an insightful fireside chat with Sean O'Neal, Chief Product Officer at Sinch, a global leader in cloud communication solutions. Sean shared valuable insights on commercial strategy development and the crucial alignment of product-market fit with go-to-market strategies. It’s a privilege to host events that bring our founder community together, and we look forward to strengthening these relationships in the future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for our Founders-Led Sales Lunch & Learn with Peter Ahn! Peter Ahn is a seasoned sales coach, speaker, and host of the Decoding Sales podcast, with over 16 years of experience across both enterprises and startups, including Google, Dropbox, Slack, Front App, and Streak. Today, he leverages his extensive expertise to empower aspiring founders and entrepreneurs through impactful coaching and dynamic speaking engagements. It was a fantastic session full of practical insights and strategies on how startups can win as the underdog in today’s competitive market. Our key takeaways from the event were: 💛 Genuineness and Transparency Matter: At the heart of every deal is a relationship. When challenges arise, trust and honesty help both parties navigate through tough times. Remember, people buy from people—authenticity goes a long way. ✍ Prioritize What Works: Your product doesn’t need every feature to be a blockbuster. Focus on the aspects that deliver the most value and set clear expectations. When you nail what really matters, everything else will follow. 🏅 Leverage the Underdog Advantage: In a crowded market, standing out can be tough. But by embracing your unique strengths—whether it’s agility, innovation, or building deeper relationships—you can consistently win, even against larger competitors.
