Techstars Startup Digest Health is back… with a new curator and format!

Hey everyone! My name is Dan Cimaglia - I’m the new curator for Health Digest! I am excited to get to work and talk healthcare with you all.

I am super passionate about healthcare, tech, and startups. For the past year and a half, I’ve worked in insurance payer partnerships and strategy at Headway. Our mission is to fix America’s broken mental healthcare system by making therapy more affordable and accessible. We have 10,000 therapists across the US, and work with payers and providers to connect patients to timely care. You can read more about Headway here.

A large part of my job is researching companies in the space (medical and mental healthcare) and writing about them! So I figured, hey, why not do it for fun outside of work too.

I’m really excited to curate for you all and grow this newsletter community. You can find me on Twitter @dan_cimaglia - please reach out with any suggestions or content that you want to see in future editions!

Every other Thursday you’ll get a newsletter with curated healthcare news, articles, VC funding, acquisitions, podcasts, and events delivered right to your inbox.

Each newsletter will follow a 5-1-1 format. You’ll get:

5️⃣ articles

1️⃣ podcast

1️⃣ quote

My goal is for this to be a quick read that will leave you feeling up to speed on the healthcare world. I’ll also throw in the occasional Twitter thread, someone to follow, an upcoming event, or a thought-provoking question or idea as an addendum.

On the last Friday of every month, you’ll get a piece of bonus content!

This edition will feature a conversation with an early-stage startup founder building in the healthcare space. I will dive into the company’s business model, the problem they are solving, and learnings from the founder. I’ve already had a few of these conversations, and I’m really excited to share them with you.

I’ll likely record most of these convos and release the audio here as well.

If you know anyone who might be interested in being featured in a Seed Spotlight, please let me know!

My first newsletter will hit your inbox next Thursday, January 20th! In the meantime, if you come across any interesting articles, podcasts, events, or anything healthcare related - please send it my way!

If you know anyone in the healthcare world that would be interested in joining 6,000 like-minded readers, please forward them this digest! If you were forwarded this issue, you can sign up to receive future editions HERE.
