Insights & ideas

The through-line

Across the available material, Chris Bischoff's focus stays fixed on healthcare investing at growth stage, and specifically on what separates companies that scale from those that stall. The recurring thread is his attempt to connect an investment thesis built on companies he has backed, such as Babylon and Livongo, to a broader view of how value based care works in practice and what he looks for in the founders running these businesses [1][2].

On his investment thesis in healthcare

Bischoff's thesis on investing draws directly on his experience backing early and growth stage healthcare businesses across the UK, US and Europe, and he uses his own portfolio, including Babylon and Livongo, as the reference points for how he thinks about the sector [1][2].

On value based care

He addresses both the pros and cons of Value Based Care as a model, treating it as a live tension in the healthcare businesses he evaluates rather than a settled conclusion [1][2].

On what founders need to thrive in healthcare

Bischoff discusses the specific qualities he believes founders need in order to succeed in healthcare, distinguishing this sector's demands from general startup building [1][2].

Takeaways

  • Bischoff's investing thesis in healthcare is grounded in lessons from his own investments, including Babylon and Livongo [1][2].
  • He views Value Based Care as having real trade-offs, weighing both its advantages and its drawbacks rather than endorsing it unconditionally [1][2].
  • He holds a defined view on the qualities founders need to succeed specifically in healthcare, as distinct from other sectors [1][2].
