Who’s really building the next generation of $1B+ healthcare companies? At SignalFire, we’ve always believed that founder DNA is the strongest signal of future outcomes. In Health & PharmaTech, where complexity, regulation, and distribution hurdles are the norm, that’s especially true. We turned to Beacon, our proprietary data engine tracking 650M+ professionals, to analyze 300+ HealthTech unicorn founders across the country. Here’s what the data showed: - 70% had 10+ years of experience. Execution and trust matter more than hype here - Nearly half came from outside healthcare, bringing fresh playbooks into a legacy industry - 80% had co-founders. HealthTech usually isn’t a solo game - San Francisco had 5x more unicorn founders than Boston, suggesting the center of gravity for HealthTech is shifting west - And the most scalable companies were led by so-called "Centaur Teams" combining GenAI talent with experienced GTM leaders We’re in the early innings of a historic transformation. With healthcare finally digitized and AI infrastructure in place, we’re seeing the rise of a new wave of #HealthTech unicorns that are faster, leaner, and more multidisciplinary than ever before. In this new report (in partnership with Fierce Healthcare), we break down: 📍 Which U.S. cities have become the new HealthTech hubs 📍 What the new HealthTech founder archetype looks like 📍 Why M&A has overtaken IPOs in this sector 📍 How Centaur Teams are scaling startups into decacorns If you’re an investor, operator, or founder in this space, this is your field guide to what’s next. (Link to full report in comments.)
