The firm focuses on early-stage investments, particularly in Late Seed and Series A rounds, providing capital to Registered Nurses who are leading high-growth businesses aimed at improving patient health, safety, and treatment approaches. Their inaugural fund, the Nurse Founders Fund, closed in June 2024 with a commitment of $1 million, marking a significant step in supporting nurse entrepreneurs.
