S1 E78 • Jun 10, 2025 • 57 mins

In this episode, Joel Palathinkal chats with Brian Yormack of Story Ventures about the challenges of accessing health data and their investment in Particle Health. Brian discusses his journey into venture capital and the founding of Story Ventures, focusing on early-stage companies. They delve into insights from working with the Ford family fund, healthcare investment criteria, and proactive healthcare trends. The conversation also covers investments in Delfina and LIVEZ, AI's role in healthcare, remote sales, and fundraising. Brian concludes with thoughts on venture fund advantages, investor updates, and community building strategies.

Key Points

  • The 2020 Cures Act has mandated that electronic health record systems must provide data to patients upon request, but the lack of an interoperability layer has been a challenge until companies like Particle Health developed APIs to address it.
  • The rise of AI and data infrastructure is transforming traditionally operationally complex businesses, such as the real estate appraisal industry, making them more efficient and scalable through automation and advanced data handling.
  • Effective fundraising and LP engagement for venture funds require a clear structural advantage and a focused strategy, emphasizing depth over breadth in relationships and creating a sense of urgency and scarcity to drive commitments.
