JUNTO HEALTH

What JUNTO HEALTH does

Junto Health is a New York City-based digital health studio and boutique advisory firm that operates at the intersection of healthcare enterprises, digital health startups, and venture capital. Founded circa 2014-2015 (with the earliest recorded company activity in February 2015) and led by CEO and co-founder Doug Hayes, the firm describes itself as a small team of experienced founders, designers, and investors that works with over 100 early-stage clients across healthcare verticals.

The company sells professional services rather than a proprietary technology product. Its core offerings are Program Development (designing healthcare innovation programs from concept to execution), Startup Advisory (acting as an informal co-founder to early-stage digital health ventures on market definition, technology, and customer acquisition), Venture Advisory (deal-flow sourcing and portfolio support for healthcare VCs and corporate venture arms), Events (the Junto Health Summit and related invite-only gatherings that draw over 50 senior executives from nearly 40 organizations), and Junto Health Labs (a research and innovation arm). Notable enterprise clients and partners visible across the firm's website include Aetna, Cleveland Clinic Ventures, Mayo Clinic Ventures, Geisinger, Northwell Ventures, Mount Sinai, NY-Presbyterian, NYU, Jefferson Health, MemorialCare, Advocate Aurora, AdventHealth, Atrium Health, Banner Health, Baylor Scott & White Health, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Amgen, Novo Nordisk, and Boehringer Ingelheim, alongside startup clients such as Buoy Health, EverlyWell, and genneve.

Junto Health's business model is professional services revenue generated through quote-based advisory engagements, event sponsorships and ticket revenue, and accelerator program contracts. The firm has a small footprint (1-10 employees), is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding rounds, and operates from a single NYC headquarters. Strategic partnerships include a cross-border International Entry Accelerator with the Canadian government's Trade Commissioner Service and a content partnership with HealthTech Women. The firm maintains thought leadership through a blog, podcast/video content on Crowdcast, and active social media (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram), and continues to operate an active website.
