Shruti Kothari
Director, Strategic Engagement, Kaiser Permanente Ventures
Kaiser Permanente’s venture capital fund invests in and advances innovation that is strategically meaningful for the KP ecosystem. In fulfilling KP’s mission to provide our members with the best care possible, we seek to partner with innovative companies who help to make this possible. While executing and scaling those partnerships have quickly become a core competency, it can be a challenging landscape. We’ve observed themes from our KP Ventures vantage point working between KP and “start-ups” – The goal is to help advance KP’s efforts as it relates to successfully accessing innovation. Shruti Kothari, Kaiser Permanente Ventures’ Director of Strategic Engagement, will discuss an overview of the work KP Ventures is doing around strategic engagement –
specifically, the strategic initiatives KP Ventures is engaging in to advance innovation that can benefit members and operations, solving challenges and meeting core business needs.
