Full Episode
This is Scott Becker with a special combined episode of the Becker's Healthcare Podcast and the Becker Private Equity Podcast. We're thrilled today to be joined by a brilliant leader and thinker and investor, Truti Vaz. And Truti is going to talk to us about what she's doing, how she looks at healthcare, and a lot more.
Truti, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and tell us a bit about what you do?
Thank you so much, Scott, and thank you for having me on. So as Scott said, I'm Driti. I'm a healthcare entrepreneur, builder, and investor. I most recently founded a value-based care enablement startup called Crosswalk Health, which helps EMS agencies get compensated for the high-impact, often invisible care they deliver in the community.
I'm now working on something new, but today I'll tell you about Crosswalk, and then I'll tell you a bit about what I've learned about building venture-scale businesses in healthcare more broadly.
Yeah, tell us a little bit about Crosswalk, but take a moment first and tell us where you're most focused today. What are you most focused on currently?
Yeah, so I am working on a new healthcare company creation platform. Healthcare incubations are a particularly fantastic way to commercialize innovation in this industry. And I can share some of the reasons why I am very bullish about this thesis and how we're thinking about it.
And tell us about that and tell us where that would fit in. Is that at the seed stage? Is that closer to more at the venture stage? How does that look? And what are the different stages when people invest in healthcare companies? Because a lot of our audience is all over the board in this, whether they're familiar with seed stage versus not, versus venture stage, versus PE stage.
Where do you fit in and what type of companies would you look at wanting to help seed and incubate?
Yeah. So I am thinking about venture scale health care companies and those that have the potential to generate financial return on a seven to 10 year time frame and have the potential to exit for call it over 100 million dollar outcome. And it's very interesting when we think about healthcare startups.
