Catalyzing healthcare innovation through bespoke partnership, strategic engagement and capital investment.
Our Approach
Valeo’s bespoke corporate venture model applies our learnings from over a quarter century of venture capital and operating experience with leading health plans, hospital systems and entrepreneurs.
Our method combines the rigor, discipline and active management style of an institutional grade investment platform with deep strategic engagement that seeks to drive value for all stakeholders.
By design and through shared objectives, our approach is not merely transactional. Working as a dedicated partner to health plan and health system leaders, Valeo helps to scope, evaluate and introduce actionable solutions through thoughtful connections with innovative entrepreneurs.
Active engagement and partnership are at the core of what we do.
Starting at the earliest stages of due diligence and continuing throughout the entire investment lifecycle, our team strives to ensure that every value proposition translates into real-world success.
Our investment approach aligns the strategic priorities of our corporate partners with the achievement of key milestones for our portfolio companies.
This seeks to drive a cycle of near-term P&L impact and long-term financial returns for our partners.
