The VC turning Healthcare Economics into a Cheat Code | Genevieve LeMarchal, Suncoast Ventures
<p>Genevieve Lemarchal spent over a decade as a serial entrepreneur, logging more than 10,000 hours in early-stage sales, marketing, and growth strategy and coaching over a thousand founders, before she ever wrote a check. That operating background shaped Suncoast Ventures, her seed-stage healthcare fund, whose first fund is already producing distributions and on track to be fully returned next year as a top decile performer.<br /><br />We get into why fewer than 10% of U.S. VCs have made even three healthcare investments, how Suncoast built an in-house health economics and actuarial practice that helped a portfolio company renegotiate its Series A pricing, and the three segments she's betting will produce healthcare's next big winners: health tech fintech, AI-driven biotech superintelligence, and women's health.</p>
