Healthcare Operator or Investor

Remote | Part-time | Hospitals and Health Care
Software gets us in the door. Hardware keeps us there. Very few healthcare companies have to do both.
Why this seat exists
V3ra is pre-seed and building autonomous triage for the emergency department front door. The path is deliberate. Chart audit pilots first, because health systems buy proof before they buy vision. Then autonomous triage. Then a hardware intake pod, sold with recurring maintenance and per-patient revenue.
That's a software company that also has to ship hardware, sell into hospitals, and move through FDA review. Each of those is hard on its own. We want advice from people who have taken a healthcare company through one or more of them, and who will tell us plainly where we're wrong.
What's built
Autonomous ED triage under a four-level autonomy ladder, with a critical-value failsafe and a hash-chained audit log of every decision
A Physician Validation Program: board-certified emergency physicians scoring the AI's outputs across 1,100+ encounters, with injected negative controls so the scoring stays honest
Chart audit validated against 238,098 CMS codes, our lead pilot offer
Epic FHIR R4 live
A pod designed for the ED front door, with a manufacturing partner identified
A lean team: a physician CMO, a certified chart-audit validator running clinical ops, general counsel, and engineering
What we haven't done yet
No FDA clearance. Documentation is underway and the pathway is still being weighed.
No signed pilot. Conversations are open with health systems and emergency physician groups.
No manufactured pod. It's designed and specified, not built.
SOC 2 is in progress, not complete.
We'd rather you hear that from us than find it in diligence.
The questions we want your answer to
Who acquires a company like this, and what do they need to see before they call?
How do you sequence software revenue against hardware capital without starving either one?
What separates a pilot that converts to a contract from one that stalls?
How would you run a manufacturing partnership with a team this small?
How does the FDA path, 510(k) or De Novo, change the timing and shape of our next raise?
What would a healthcare infrastructure investor need to see before leaning in?
