Partnership
We invest in founders first, then let them work their magic.
When we invest, we’re committing to a partnership with you. We’re just as excited to support your growth as a leader as we are the business itself. As partners, we won’t dictate your product roadmap or your choice of office furniture. Instead, we focus on getting to know you, your team, and your company deeply so we can help you make the tough, everyday decisions along the way.
Focus
We believe depth and expertise make the strongest partners.
We live and breathe AI, tech-enabled services, and consumer products and platforms. We are experts in healthcare, fintech, and vertical industry transformation. We come to the table as true insiders, with a deep foundation that helps us better support you on the journey ahead.
Commitment
We’re in it for the long haul, with each other and with you.
The company building journey is full of ups and downs. We'll be right there beside you, every step of the way. You won’t find a revolving cast of “partners" here. Our team has worked together for nearly a decade, and we intend to keep showing up — for you and for each other — for decades to come.
Our Founders
We’re thrilled and honored that our founders chose us to
support them, here’s some raw & unedited commentary
they have about that decision, many years down the line:
Informed has been a priceless partner to our company. Sunny and Richard are physicians, so they deeply understood and appreciated the impact our company could have on the clinical trials industry. The entire team is incredibly organized, thoughtful, and well-connected, and we always felt safe knowing we were in good hands. As we experienced hyper growth, Informed was instrumental in helping us scale and set our company up for success.
Informed Ventures was our very first institutional investor, supporting us as we scaled from a whiteboard concept to a robotic arm prototype to the leading provider of total robotic warehouse automation. Throughout that time, Sunny has been an ideal board member: deeply knowledgeable, a clear communicator, fully reliable, and willing to go the distance to transform a trillion-dollar industry.
Informed Ventures has been by our side through every stage of our journey. When we pivoted from a consumer platform to an enterprise software leader, they offered sharp perspective on product, GTM, and hiring, and ultimately introduced us to SoftBank—our Series B lead. Their support has opened critical doors and helped position us for the growth ahead. They’re exactly the kind of partner you want in your corner.
Informed Ventures changed our trajectory from the very beginning. They saw what others couldn’t: an opportunity to disrupt American health insurance, and they made the high conviction bet on Venteur when industry players dismissed ICHRA as ‘not a thing.’ They also stood by us through tough transitions, providing patient capital and urging us to stay focused on the long-term rather than short-term wins. Their foresight and guidance gave us the confidence to keep building and the foundation to grow, leading both our Seed and Series A. I couldn’t ask for a better partner to help reshape American healthcare.
Starting PlusAI, I didn’t have to think twice about which investor I wanted to call first. I had worked with Richard on my last company and had seen firsthand the tremendous value he and the team bring. Ten years later, they remain steadfast champions of PlusAI.
Informed Ventures brought the playbook for scaling tech-enabled healthcare services companies to our partnership — ensuring we’re positioned to become the winner in our segment. Their guidance is grounded not only in what works at a tactical level, but also in the strategic mindset required to build multi-billion-dollar companies that deliver high-quality, trusted, and comprehensive care. Most importantly, they’ve been a true coach to me as a CEO and founder — supporting our vision while challenging me in the ways we need to grow with quality. I feel incredibly fortunate to have them in our corner.
