Insight from Rohit Nuwal, Investment Director in Health at TELUS Global Ventures (TGV): Unlocking ROI in the Self-Insured Employer Market 🚀 The rise of self-insured employers is transforming the U.S. healthcare landscape, creating significant opportunities for healthtech startups.

Startups that can effectively track and link employee well-being to productivity stand the best chance of success.

Nahari emphasized the crucial role of data and continuous experimentation with AI tools, showing how targeted research and proprietary data can guide smarter investment decisions. 🌍 Chris Yeh shared compelling examples of AI’s transformative potential in Healthcare, Financial Services, and Education, noting the market’s shift toward realistic value creation and revenue focus.
