We invest in companies developing novel, transformational technology solutions to the world’s healthcare problems. In labs around the world, technology is listening for biosignals in our bodies; data science is hunting for patterns in the noise; AI is personalizing engagement at scale. We give these ideas a chance to flourish and make their impact on the world. We’re grateful to be able to do what we do with the people who inspire us. The best parts of our work are the bonds that we form with each and every person in our community: the founders, investors, strategic partners and advisors—all passionate about solving critical problems in human health. Kicker’s contribution is to invent and reinvent ourselves to better serve the dedicated scientists, engineers, founders and companies who are revolutionizing healthcare for current and future generations with the tools and solutions of tomorrow.
