InvestDoctor
Physician Venture Platform

Healthcare runs on physicians who don't own it.

InvestDoctor empowers physicians to own and invest through the fund, earn through consulting, and learn through the events. We back AI companies across healthcare, life sciences, biotech, and medtech, and no investment moves until three physicians agree independently.

Physician standard to invest
01

Three ways in. One platform. One flywheel.

Each arm feeds the next. Events bring physicians in and teach them the venture side. Consulting puts their judgment to work and pays for it. The fund lets them own what they helped validate, and the companies it backs come back to the platform for physicians. Educate, activate, validate, invest, build, distribute, compound.

Own and invest · The fund

Own the companies you would use

Fund I is open only to physicians. You put in capital, you read deals in your own specialty, and when you do real work on a company you earn carry in it. The venture studio sits inside the fund, so ideas from the platform can be built and backed under the same roof.

Earn · Consulting

Get paid for what you already know

Healthcare AI companies need a specialist to tell them whether the product works in a real department. We match them with you, at a fair market rate, for calls, advisory boards, validation studies, and pilots. And if you are the one building, we consult for you.

Learn · Events

Learn how the money side works

Dinners, bootcamps, and demo days across nine cities where physicians, founders, and investors sit at the same table. Medical school did not cover venture. This is where you pick it up, from people who have done it.

Why this, why now

You are the gatekeeper. You are just not on the cap table.

Every healthcare AI company lives or dies on whether clinicians trust it, whether it fits the workflow, and whether the evidence holds up. Those calls get made by you, on shift, carrying the liability. The companies know it. That is why they keep asking for your time for free.

InvestDoctor closes that gap. When the people who decide adoption are also the owners, the advice gets better, the pilots get real, and the upside stays with the doctors who earned it.

What we believe

AI has already rewritten how software gets built. We believe healthcare is the next frontier, and that a new era of medicine is starting now. The technology got good faster than hospitals could absorb it, so the hard part is no longer building the model. It is getting a department to trust it, fit it into a shift, and pay for it. That is clinical territory, and doctors need to be part of what gets built on it, as owners and not only as users.

01

The constraint moved

Model quality is not what is scarce any more. What is scarce is trust, workflow fit, evidence, and a reimbursement path, and clinicians decide all four inside working departments. A company can post the best benchmark numbers in its category and still fail every one of those tests.

02

You decide adoption. You should own the upside.

Clinicians set the standard of care, carry the liability, and decide whether a tool ever reaches a patient. They control adoption, yet they are almost never on the cap tables of the companies selling to them. We think that is worth fixing, and worth investing behind.

03

Specialty-native beats generalist

Healthcare is not one market. Radiology, psychiatry, and surgical care have different buyers, different evidence bars, and different reimbursement paths. Treating them as one sector is how generalist investors get caught out. We underwrite one specialty at a time.

04

Getting in the door is the hard part

What is genuinely hard to get is a warm introduction to the department that will run the pilot, and a clinician willing to put their name on the evidence. That is what the platform is for, and it gets stronger every time a physician joins.

"We invest only when three physicians, working separately, reach the same conclusion. If one of them says no, we walk away."

Venture studio

Start a company without leaving the ward.

The studio is for physicians who keep hitting the same problem on shift and think it could be a company. We test the idea, design the evidence, pair you with a technical operator who has shipped before, and write the first cheque. Most startups spend two years trying to get clinical access. Yours starts with it.

01

How a company gets built

01

Problem, from the floor

A physician brings us something that keeps going wrong on their shift. First question we ask is whether it is merely annoying or whether someone is losing money on it.

02

Evidence design first

Before a line of product, we design the study that would convince a sceptical department chair. If it cannot be designed, we stop.

03

Operator pairing

We match the clinical founder with a technical operator who has shipped in a regulated environment. Neither builds alone.

04

Pilot inside the platform

First deployments run in departments our physicians actually work in. Real users, real liability, and honest feedback within weeks rather than quarters.

What we contribute
Clinical co-founder from the platform
Evidence and study design at inception
Regulatory pathway mapping
Pilot sites and named clinical champions
First cheque, and the syndicate after it
What we don't do
Incubate without a practising physician attached
Back a model in search of a workflow
Fund pilots that cannot become procurement
Take a board seat we cannot staff with clinical depth
Move on consensus we did not test independently

Have a problem you keep hitting on shift?

Consulting

Earn from the judgment you already have.

Healthcare AI companies spend fortunes on engineers and almost nothing on the one question that decides everything: will a clinician actually use this? Our physicians answer it, for a fee. And when a physician is the one building the company, we consult for them on the venture side. Health systems buy evidence and trust, not demos.

This works two ways

Advice moves in both directions here. Companies hire our physicians. Physicians hire us.

For founders

Our physicians consult for you

Healthcare AI companies bring us a clinical question and we match them with the right specialists on the platform. Product and workflow review, advisory boards, validation and pilot design, evidence and regulatory strategy, and distribution through physicians who work in the departments you are selling into.

Consulting for founders →
For physicians

We consult for you

Most doctors with a good idea have never raised money, priced a product, or hired an engineer. That is the side we know. We work with physicians on the commercial and venture side of what they are building, from testing whether the idea holds up to structuring the company and getting it funded.

Consulting for physicians →
02

Built for trust and compliance

The same rigour that protects physicians protects you.

Fair market value

Every engagement is priced at documented fair-market value for the specialty, with terms stated up front.

Sunshine Act / Open Payments

Payments to physicians handled transparently and reportably.

FTC disclosure

All medfluencer promotion carries a clear material-connection disclosure.

Conflict management

Engagements screened against institutional and competing-company ties.

Bring your clinical question.

We will scope it, name the physicians, and quote it before anything starts.

For founders

Our physicians, working on your company.

You have built something for clinicians. Before you spend another quarter guessing, put it in front of the specialists who would actually use it. We match you with them, at a fair market rate, for as long as the question takes.

01

What you get

Clinical subject-matter expertise

Input on product, workflow fit, and safety from a physician who works the floor you are selling into.

Physician advisory boards

Assembled by specialty and screened for conflicts. They review roadmap, evidence, and positioning as you move through each gate.

Validation & pilot design

Site selection, endpoints, and the kind of evidence a procurement committee will actually accept.

Regulatory & evidence strategy

FDA and CMS framing planned early, not retrofitted after a failed procurement conversation.

Distribution

Go to market through the medfluencer channel and the founding physicians on the platform, with pilots that have a named clinical champion attached.

How engagements work
01
Scope. We agree the question, the deliverable, the timeline, and the budget
02
Match. We pick vetted specialists by expertise and conflict status
03
Contract. Fair market value rates, conflict checks, and Sunshine Act handling
04
Deliver. Advisory sessions, validation, pilot design, or evidence strategy
02

Raising from the fund

Three physicians read your company independently, and you get the verdict either way. That usually includes an objection nobody has raised with you yet.

What we look for

A named clinical buyer

Not a persona. The department, the budget line, and the person who signs.

Workflow fit before accuracy

Where it sits in the shift, how many clicks it costs, and who gets blamed when it is wrong.

An evidence path that ends in procurement

A study a chair would accept, and a route from that study to a purchase order.

Specialty-native depth

We would rather back a team that knows one specialty properly than four in outline.

How the process runs
01
Intro call, 30 minutes
One physician, one operator. We are testing the clinical premise, not the deck.
02
Independent reads, 10 days
Three physicians assess separately, without conferring. You see every write-up.
03
The diligence table
You answer the objections live. If all three agree, it goes forward. If one does not, we tell you and stop there.
04
Decision, 3 weeks from the first call
A yes comes with pilot sites and clinical champions attached. A no comes with reasons.

No warm intro required. Cold is fine if the premise is clinical.

Bring your clinical question.

We will scope it, name the physicians, and quote it before anything starts.

For physicians

We work for you on the part medical school skipped.

You know the clinical problem. Turning it into a company is a different skill, and it is the one we have. Paid, scoped engagements with the partners on the venture side of what you are building.

01

Venture building for physicians

You know the clinical problem better than anyone. What you probably have not done is turn one into a company. That is the part we work on with you.

What we help with
Is the idea worth building?
An honest read on whether the problem is big enough, who pays for it, and whether anyone has already solved it.
Business model and pricing
Who the buyer is, what they will pay, and how that maps to reimbursement or a hospital budget line.
Finding a technical co-founder
Pairing you with an operator who has shipped software in a regulated setting, and structuring the equity so it holds.
Company structure and fundraising
Incorporation, cap table, what a first round looks like, and how to talk to investors without giving away too much.
Doing it without quitting medicine
How to build and lead a company while you are still practising, and when it makes sense to step back.
How it usually goes
01
A conversation about the problem
Thirty minutes with one of the partners. Bring the problem, not a deck.
02
Working sessions
A short engagement to pressure test the idea, shape the business model, and draft the plan. Paid, scoped, and time boxed.
03
Where it goes from there
Some physicians take the plan and build independently. Some come into the venture studio and we build it together with a first cheque attached. Either is a fine outcome.

A fund where the LPs are the doctors.

Fund I is in formation and we are assembling the founding physicians on the platform before the raise opens. Most funds want your money. We want your money, your read on a deal in your specialty, and your knowledge of how a department actually buys. The first is a cheque. The other two are what make this fund different, and you are paid for them.

Physician carry

Physicians who do real work on a company, whether that is validation, research, running the pilot, or opening distribution, can receive carry in that specific company. It means our LPs are not passive.

Indicative only, to be finalised in the limited partnership agreement with fund counsel. Fee and carry terms are shared under NDA with verified accredited investors.

Fund economics, portfolio construction, and the sourced market analysis are shared only with verified accredited investors. Verification takes one call.
