The US healthcare system has a huge resource shortage. Here’s how small and medium-sized investors can help plug the gap.
Global Venturing ReviewThe group of smaller and medium-sized investors has been growing, and their value has never been clearer to founders and co-investors. They tend not to seek M&As, neutralising a concern that some startups have about having corporates on their cap table, while still bringing the advantage of corporate connections. They often place an even heavier emphasis on the health of the investment syndicate, as they may be in a worse position than larger funds if things fall through, and they often opt, for example, for observer seats over board seats. All in all, they are team players who can still open very important doors.

Radical change is needed to fix CVC’s gender problem. Here are some ideas.
Global Venturing ReviewToday I’m talking to my colleague Angela Logan, news and production editor at GCV. Angela recently had a very interesting interview with Nichola Bates, head of global accelerators and innovation programmes at Boeing (which you can read here) in which Bates spoke about what it’s been like to be a woman in the corporate VC industry, how in the past there were times when she wasn’t taken seriously, or been undervalued – an experience that many, many women can relate to in the professional context – and how she’s trying to run the unit she leads differently, and hopefully in a way that also disrupts the wider corporate culture.
