​The most important investment we can make is in our children

Every child deserves a healthy, happy childhood
​Healthy children enjoy a better quality of life - for the rest of their life
Families of healthy kids are spared emotional and financial burdens 
​Better child health outcomes can transform communities
Large-scale improvements to child healthcare are revolutionary for society

​There has never been a better time to use science and technology to help sick kids
We are in the midst of a biomedical revolution
​Billions go into pediatric research every year
Lawmakers and the FDA have prioritized pediatrics​​
Children's health is a high priority for government, nonprofits, and philanthropists
Investors are pouring money into healthcare startups

Clinicians, scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs are founding companies to bring important pediatric innovations to market

Strong, well-funded science developed to meet a critical need
A clear commercial path to reaching patients sustainably and at scale
Passionate, capable leadership to carry 
Children's health is a high priority for government, nonprofits, and philanthropists
Investors are pouring money into healthcare startups

Yet millions of children still suffer from diseases and conditions that science and technology can address


Why aren't good pediatric solutions reaching patients?

Plenty of companies have the right ingredients
Strong, well-funded science developed to meet a critical need
A clear commercial path to reaching patients sustainably and at scale
Passionate, capable leadership to carry 
​Many important pediatric innovations target low- resource settings, often associated with lower returns

​Yet, new pediatric solutions aren't reaching patients
​
​What's the problem?

There is almost no early stage investment capital available for child health focused startups 

Pediatric clinical trials are complex due to logistical, clinical, and ethical challenges (but parents are starting to drive this process)

Springhood provides this vital capital
Springhood backs young companies with the potential to significantly improve health outcomes of children. We support passionate entrepreneurs developing strong science with a clear commercial pathway. Young companies developing solutions for kids have more challenges than the average healthcare startup. We meet those challenges head on by providing capital and resources to give the best of these companies a shot to survive the startup journey - knowing that we are uniquely positioned to do this. 

We are unabashedly mission-first investors
Because our primary goal is to get meaningful solutions to children sustainably and at scale, we look at investment opportunities through a unique lens. Our success comes every time we save or improve a child’s life. 

Springhood invests through a (mostly) traditional investment partnership model and structures investments to fully capture the rewards of financial success. We believe that focusing on getting solutions to kids sustainably and at scale, rather than returns, will lead to great results for all stakeholders.
