Our Story

Founded in 2019, NEXT VENTURES is a San Francisco based venture capital firm focused on Seed and Series A investment opportunities. Our time is spent addressing the root causes of poor and inadequate health outcomes through the lens of Whole Person Health.

How We Work

We aim to partner early with founders who are enhancing human capability by creating innovative ways to access healthcare.

This is achieved by developing new software, platforms, and protocols that extend beyond conventional health frameworks, thereby improving traditional health ideologies to be more practical, accessible, and enduring.

We are a team of founders, operators, and athletes who offer a differentiated commitment, driven by an athlete mindset and a hyper focus on actions, feedback, results, and excellence.

Our Focus

Our approach to health is based on the understanding that products and services should be interconnected and complementary. Progress in the industry is limited when made in isolation.

Our Approach

Our process, from discovery to investment, is driven by our deep interest in learning and leveraging our core strengths and active networks. We bring the enterprise closer to the consumer, accelerating access, exposure, and opportunities in health.
