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.

Sramana Mitra: So let me comment on that. I would like to double click down on some of your companies, but on the broad level, I’m very bullish about education as well. I’m extremely bullish about healthcare, no question and AI in healthcare. But the trouble in education is that in the short to medium term, I think there is tremendous potential in education. Especially personalized tutoring is something I’m very, very excited and bullish about. Salman Khan is giving lots of talks about what he is doing with Khanmigo. I think personalized tutoring is an incredible opportunity.

Sramana Mitra: So, now let’s talk about healthcare, specifically in the US. What kinds of opportunities are you zeroing in on with these investments? I would like to actually brainstorm a bit about the healthcare market in general, because as I’m sure you believe, I also believe that healthcare is one of the biggest opportunities of this next wave of technology – all the AI and everything. Every time you think about it, healthcare is one of the great unsolved problem that AI can really revolutionize.
