How to approach

Framing and angles for outreach

Pitch framing

A founder should lead with a healthcare or healthcare-adjacent growth story that benefits from an investor with deep operating discipline, LP perspective, and late-stage company-building experience. The strongest angle is a clear case for why the company can scale responsibly and become durable enough for later-stage capital.

  1. 1Reference her work with Acrew's healthcare investing team.
  2. 2Connect the pitch to her prior growth and late-stage investing experience.
  3. 3If relevant, mention lessons from scaling healthcare companies such as One Medical.
