Hi Everyone,
If you’re new here or got forwarded this post, hi, I’m Vadim. I lead a digital health growth fund called Mighty Middle Ventures and organize high impact digital health events workshops in NYC under the Healing Healthtech banner.
I’ve been sending out this monthly events newsletter for years and will continue to do so for a long time to come. If you’re organizing an event and would like it included in the next mailer, please submit to this form.
Please take a minute to subscribe or forward to someone new to NYC or digital health who you believe would get value.
Warmly,
Vadim
