We are back with our next Lift for Founders LinkedIn Live community event on Thursday, January 30th at 9am PST/12pm EST! We are proud to share a female founder’s purpose driven journey at the intersection of art and science. 🎭 ✨ Founder Ryan Reid's lifelong passion is improving the health and well-being of older adults. Her immersive experiences include working in memory care, researching aging as a Fulbright scholar in Nepal, directing award-winning theater focused on elder isolation, serving as a board member for long-term care centers, and instructing art classes in senior living. These experiences have provided her with first-hand insight into the needs of this population and the perspectives of associated stakeholders, and sparked her passion to solve for the loneliness epidemic in our aging community. Reid is the founder and CEO of Bream, a company that entertains, engages, and improves the health of older adults. Bream has been part of the AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP, as well as the JP Morgan Techstars program. In 2014, she also founded Sprat, a healthcare company serving older adults. With an academic background in human-centered design from Parsons School of Design and Eugene Lang College, Ms. Reid’s multifaceted expertise at the intersection of gerontology, creative arts, research, and entrepreneurship uniquely positions her to lead the #AgeTech company of the future.

“Generally speaking, investing in yourself is the best thing you can do. Anything that improves your own talents; nobody can tax it or take it away from you. They can run up huge deficits and the dollar can become worth far less. You can have all kinds of things happen. But if you’ve got talent yourself, and you’ve maximized your talent, you’ve got a tremendous asset that can return 10-fold.” - Warren Buffet As we kick off 2025, we are thrilled to announce our next Loud Lift for Founders Linked In Live community event on Thursday, January 9th at 11am PST/2pm EST. Our topic will be Investing in Yourself, featuring Lt. Col. Zaid Fadul, MD, FS, FAAFP as our guest, alongside Navin Goyal MD, Tarul Kode, PharmD, and the Loud VC team. ✨ Dr. Fadul is an esteemed entrepreneur, flight surgeon, Chief Medical Officer, public health advocate, and more.

Is health on your mind over the holidays this year? One thing on ours is how little health is incentivized in our healthcare system. Despite improving quality of life and potentially decreasing costs, preventative solutions are poorly incentivized at scale relative to interventions. On a recent episode of our podcast The Healthtech Roundtable - Conversations with Founders and Funders, our host Jen D, MD PhD discusses building in Medicine 3.0 and the challenges of building healthspan-increasing solutions with physician entrepreneur Sandeep Palakodeti, MD MPH. It's an engaging conversation on the potential of integrated healthcare solutions, current business models, and evidence and regulatory challenges, and a great reminder that we could all take care of ourselves a bit more. Take a listen and subscribe for more of these conversations! Wishing you and your families a happy and healthy holiday season - here's to building health in 2025! #healthcare #vc #longevity #integratedmedicine #healthspan https://lnkd.in/gc-nXS93 https://lnkd.in/gvA2V9yW https://lnkd.in/gjwt3NHt
