Rock Health Capital

What Rock Health Capital does

Rock Health Capital is a private, San Francisco-based venture capital firm founded in 2010 that operates a full-service seed platform exclusively for digital health startups. The firm invests in entrepreneurs working at the intersection of healthcare and technology, deploying capital alongside strategic guidance, operational support, and access to a network of healthcare industry connections. Across its portfolio of 70+ companies, Rock Health Capital participates in seed and selective Series A rounds, with disclosed 2025–2026 checks ranging from $2.1M seed rounds (Burst, No Barrier) to $7.6M Series A participation (Pear Suite).

The firm's product surface extends beyond capital deployment to include the Rock Weekly newsletter, an Insights publication producing annual Consumer Adoption Surveys and quarterly funding overviews (including the Q1 2026 digital health overview covering $4B raised across 110 deals), a curated Job Board for portfolio-company hiring, a Digital Health CEO Summit, and a structured portfolio-submission form (Airtable). Distribution is primarily inbound and referral-driven, with stated global sourcing through direct outreach and the firm's network, while operating geographies are explicitly limited to North America (USA). Monetization is the traditional VC model — management fees and potential carried interest on its funds — with no public disclosure of AUM, fund size, or revenue.

The team is led by Founder and General Partner Bill Evans, with Co-founder Nate Gross, President and CEO Tom Cassels, COO Megan Zweig, Principal Sean Day, Advisor Hylton Kalvaria, and team members Keith W. Anderson and Monique Smith. Affiliated but separately operated entities include Rock Health Advisory (consulting services) and RockHealth.org (nonprofit), which together with Rock Health Capital form an integrated healthcare-innovation platform rather than a parent-subsidiary structure.
