Digital Health Venture Partners

What Digital Health Venture Partners does

Digital Health Venture Partners (DHVP) is a seed-stage venture capital firm based in Washington, United States, that invests in early-stage healthcare technology companies. The firm targets resilient, mission-driven founders building durable solutions across three thematic areas: software (AI and SaaS), AI-enabled services, and healthcare consumerism — particularly where data, AI, and healthcare policy intersect. Its stated thesis is that policy is forcing openness onto closed healthcare data systems and that AI is converting operational complexity into clarity, creating a generational investment opportunity.

The firm is led by Founder and General Partner Arvin Grover and Partner Steve Yaskin, supported by Advisors Dennis Cardoza and Eric Hargan (former policymakers) and Scout Dan Cimaglia. DHVP reports a portfolio of 15-20+ companies spanning post-acute care, hospice operations, clinical compliance, payment integrity, risk adjustment, cancer screening, mental health, home healthcare, radiology, virtual care, and employer-sponsored health insurance. Notable portfolio companies include Handl Health, Cascala Health, Brellium, Anuly, GeoH, Medmo, and UrgentIQ; ArcHouse and Avo have been acquired.

DHVP's business model is venture capital returns: it takes equity stakes in portfolio companies at the seed stage and realizes returns through follow-on rounds, acquisitions, and other exits. The firm differentiates on value-add rather than capital alone, operating a proactive customer-introduction engine through which more than 50% of portfolio companies have signed commercial contracts with DHVP-sourced customers. GTM motion is enterprise field-style relationship investing, direct sourcing from a US base with a global investment scope. Investment terms are negotiated individually; pricing is not publicly disclosed.
