🌟 Flare Capital Partners kicking off 2025 with an important promotion... We're pumped to announce Tara Sullivan's promotion to Principal at Flare Capital! The most important investment we can make is in our team, and Tara has been a terrific contributor across every dimension. Tara is scary good and bonds easily with entrepreneurs and investors. Her instincts on healthcare technology opportunities are prescient. But she has also created her own luck by putting herself in situations where good things happen. Tara catalyzed one of our new 2024 investments in Photon Health, a platform that automates prescription management workflows, by putting herself front and center of the super impressive founder, Otto Sipe. So much of success in this business is just showing up and being present. If you've had the good fortune to meet Tara, you know she is on the path to establishing herself as an emerging leader in our industry. 🚀 Please join us in congratulating Tara on this well deserved achievement!
