The healthcare industry is undergoing a massive transformation, driven by innovations in AI, digital health, value-based care, and tech-enabled services. From streamlining patient experiences to optimizing provider workflows, startups are redefining how care is delivered, accessed, and paid for. But building in HealthTech isn’t just about having a great product—it’s about securing partnerships with payers and providers, navigating complex regulatory hurdles, and proving real-world impact. The right investors don’t just bring capital; they bring deep expertise, industry relationships, and the strategic guidance necessary to scale successfully.
That’s why we’ve put together this curated list of 25 top HealthTech venture capital firms actively investing in 2025. These VCs are backing digital health, healthcare SaaS, payer/provider solutions, virtual care, women’s health, end-of-life, and tech-enabled services. More importantly, we’ve detailed how to approach them, giving founders a direct path to securing funding from investors who understand the nuances of scaling in this space.
