AV Healthtech Fund's Dream Portfolio

Join David Shapiro and Mike Peri, Managing Partners of Alumni Ventures’ Health Tech Fund, for an introduction to one of the most consequential venture theses of the decade — and how the Health Tech Fund gives accredited investors structured exposure to the companies rebuilding how healthcare is delivered, financed, and experienced across the U.S. and beyond.
In this session, David Shapiro and Mike Peri will walk through the Health Tech Fund investment thesis and how the fund is positioned across the categories reshaping healthcare today — from AI-native clinical workflows and digital diagnostics, to hospital operations and value-based care, to consumer health, biotech tooling, and the infrastructure making next-generation care possible. David and Mike will share how the team sources and evaluates opportunities across the sector, how they think about risk and regulatory complexity in a highly specialized market, and where they see the most compelling opportunities forming next.
Whether you’re a current Alumni Ventures investor sharpening your view of health tech, or an accredited investor evaluating the sector for the first time, this session will give you a grounded, investor-focused thesis on one of the most important shifts happening in venture today.
