Why Shila
"I back founders who see what I see—where others fail to invest is where the opportunity lives."
The Catalyst
During a personal health journey, I experienced the gap between treating symptoms and achieving true vitality. By taking command of my own recovery through nutrition and lifestyle, I didn't just normalize my labs—I discovered the power of proactive health. That lived experience is my compass; I invest in the proximity between a founder’s insight and a patient’s breakthrough.
The Conviction
This is my life’s work. With 20 years at the forefront of national health—from the American Cancer Society to the Black Women’s Health Imperative—I’ve spent two decades investing in the infrastructure of care. I’ve seen exactly where innovation is ready to ignite. I now direct capital to where it is most effective: at the intersection of untapped potential and the future of health.
— Shila Nieves Burney, Managing Partner
Where capital meets demand
The epicenter of health innovation and the greatest untapped founder potential exist in the same geography. We invest where the opportunity is most concentrated—because that’s where the future of care is being built.

Untapped Founder Potential
We invest nationally. We win locally.
Based in Atlanta. Investing Everywhere.
We invest where founders are building—from Atlanta to New York to Silicon Valley. Health challenges don't have borders. Neither do we. Our Atlanta base gives us access to a market with 90M people, $2.1T GDP, and 40% less VC competition—while our portfolio scales nationally.
The Future We’re Building
Healthcare is a $4.9 trillion economy. Yet most of that capital flows toward treatment, not prevention.
The largest misallocation of capital in modern medicine, is the opportunity.
We back foundational platforms and intelligent systems redefining care delivery, from reactive and episodic to proactive and continuous.
We back the architects of prevention: founders whose clinical rigor and lived experience give them the foresight to reimagine how care is accessed, delivered, and sustained. By scaling the technology they build, we are making a longer, healthier life accessible
The Track Record Speaks for Itself
