About Us
Started in 2018 by former Optum Group Executive Vice President and head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Senior White House Advisor Andy Slavitt and long-time investor and company-builder David Whelan, Town Hall Ventures invests in companies that transform access and equitable care for underserved Americans. Our aim is to deliver top-quartile financial results by finding and scaling models that improve outcomes in communities left behind by the United States healthcare system. To date, Town Hall has started or invested in 37 companies, with 7 of the first 15 investments valued at over $1 billion.
“The biggest and happiest surprise about Town Hall is the quality of people we are fortunate enough to get to know and work with. People who want to change the world, or their corner of it. People with amazing personal stories. People with grit and kindness in equal abundance. People who take joy in making each other better.”
