👋 I'm excited to share a little bit on what I've been working on recently at Virtue. tl;dr -- Virtue is the 'earliest stage health VC'. If you're a pre-seed or seed health founder then let's talk!

Chris Quinn (@cjquinn10) is easily one of the best pre-seed investors. He has the best deal access I know & his founders love him bc Chris doesn't just work for them.. he brings them revenue $$$ (see below). Very few grind like Chris. ATTN LPs - he is about to raise a new fund!
Most VCs suck at their job. Every so often though, you come across one that is truly exceptional & can deeply influence the trajectory of a startup. @cjquinn10 is one of those VCs. He made $250k+ ARR of introductions for us this morning without me asking him. Chris saw our growth, figured we must be doing something right, & asked his portcos if they wanted to use Pipeline. Woke up to 26 booked demos. If you’re an early stage founder, take money from Chris Quinn.

We are thrilled to share the close of our second fund, “V2”, at $55.75M! In V2 we intend to continue partnering with exceptional pre-seed & seed healthcare founders as an additive lead or co-lead partner. Our check sizes will range from $1-2M across 25 companies over the next 3 years. At @virtue_vc we partner with founders in their earliest financing rounds to tackle the real, intractable problems that continue to hinder the broader healthcare ecosystem. We are honored to have the unwavering support of our best-in-class Limited Partners – and specifically our anchor @CendanaCapital – for allowing us to deepen our commitment to the next generation of healthcare founders. In the last three years, Virtue’s Fund I portfolio companies – such as @DxSmarter, Evvy, Mural Health, Anna Health, among others – have collectively raised over $225 million, reaching a combined valuation of $1B+. Our stage and sector specialization allows us to meaningfully support a range of startups that are reshaping how healthcare is delivered, financed, and coded. We are at an important moment in healthcare, fueled by the convergence of rapid AI breakthroughs, shifting policies and regulatory landscape, pressure to modernize antiquated operating systems and unlock valuable clinical data assets, rising costs of care and life saving drugs, and an evolving cultural sentiment that demands more from our healthcare system.

TRAIGA is *very bad* policy and will kill TX competitiveness domestically and abroad @GovAbbott! Get rid of this nonsense now!
This week, Trump cancelled Biden’s AI Reg EO and promised MASSIVE AI investment. Yet as we celebrate in DC, Texas is about to hand its AI industry to Biden bureaucrats and Big Tech: the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act (TRAIGA) would kill innovation, jobs, and let China win.

Seems like a tsunami wave of funds 2 & 3 coming back to market in '25.

This feels very true for VC (and vast majority of all investment firm types) - if you are not currently augmenting how you invest and managing your fund ops w/ new tooling then, well, enjoy your mgmt fees while they last.

There has been a definite shift in recent weeks where insiders in the various AI labs are suggesting that very intelligent AIs are coming very soon. I wrote a bit about why this might be happening and what we can take away from their apparent confidence.
