Josh is building a Data Science training company from Alabama. It’s a very interesting model, going deep into high school level skill development in what the market needs today.
Sramana Mitra: Hi, Josh. It’s great to have you. Let’s start at the very beginning of your journey. Where are you from? Where were you born, raised? What kind of background?
>>>Sramana Mitra: You must have seen in the media how we’ve advocated very, very seriously bootstrapped startups. As a forum, we have legitimized bootstrapped startups. So today bootstrap startups take a lot of pride. Ten years ago, the bootstrapped startups used to apologize for being bootstrapped startups. Today, they don’t.
>>>Sramana Mitra: I’m asking a simpler question. Are these all B to B companies – businesses selling to hospitals or insurance companies or pharmaceutical companies?
Julien Pham: Oh, we do a little bit of everything. We have a few B to C, B to B, or B to B to C companies because end user oftentimes is the patient. If you remember, one of our important screening criteria of the quintuple aim is, how does it improve outcomes for patients? So we want to make sure that it somehow touches patients.

Sramana Mitra: So in that context, what companies have you invested in and what’s going on?
Julien Pham: Yeah. So for Fund One, we’ve invested in 15 companies so far. We’re probably going to invest in another two or three before we kind of wrap up the investment period for Fund One and start investing out of Fund Two. But out of the 15 companies we’ve invested in since 2021, 11 of them are squarely into digital health across different sectors or conditions like mental health and maternal health.
