LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Wavemaker Three-Sixty Health (Wavemaker 360), the nation’s leading venture fund focused singularly on early-stage (primarily seed) healthcare disruptors, is celebrating its 50th investment in 50 months, a strong achievement toward their goal of catalyzing global healthcare innovation by backing compelling startups in the areas of health-tech, digital health, medical device, telehealth, artificial intelligence, pharma-tech, and marketplaces.

The fund has deployed more than $20MM into its portfolio, and the companies have raised more than $750MM with the financial and healthcare industry connectivity Wavemaker 360 provides. In total, the aggregate valuation of Wavemaker 360’s portfolio companies exceeds $2.5BB.

“Wavemaker360 truly executes on its vision of value-based healthcare by investing in the companies that will make it a reality,” says Phil Martie, CEO, Nicolette, Inc. “Their investment in Nicolette and resource-rich partnership were critical for us in acquiring our first contracts and implementing them with excellence. They have served as an extension of the Nicolette team, helping us solve problems and seize opportunities to improve and grow as a company. We still have much to achieve on our startup journey and it is great to know they will be by our side all the way to the finish line.”

The LPs offer comprehensive support to Wavemaker 360’s portfolio companies, guiding their progress in efficient, creative and liberating ways.
Led by a team of eight visionary partners with more than 200 years of collective healthcare and venture capital experience, the Wavemaker 360 decision-making table is expansive and comprised of executive-level professionals with backgrounds in health systems administration, provider economics, government sponsored healthcare, healthcare staffing, digital health and more.
