Founding VC Partner

First Adopter VC Partner

Created with an awesome investors, for all founders and health-conscious investors

The WellFounded Programme is for more than individual founders: The programme is designed to help VCs take a leading role in the health of their most valuable investments - their Founders and leaders across their whole portfolio.

The Programme was created in 2019 by healthtech pioneer Dr. Jack Kreindler (UCL, VieLife, CHHP, Imperial College) and colleagues, with leading early-stage London tech investor, Mosaic Ventures, while Dr. Jack served as Mosaic’s health Venture Partner. ‘WellFounded for Mosaic’ rolled out to the whole Mosaic Portfolio with highly positive feedback - the first such VC-led initiative of its kind in the world. Mosaic remains our leading, non-commercial partner in the initiative.

We’re jointly working to set new standards in caring for and researching the health, well-being & performance of founders and their startups with other health-conscious investors.

Interested? If you’re Well F_unded [sic] and interested in your investors sponsoring WellFounded for you, or if you’re a forward-thinking investor keen to join the first wave of WellFounded partners, please get in touch.

  • Over 6 months, we measure medical, physiological, cognitive and executive performance and how we inspire lasting change. This can give us, and in privacy-preserving form, our VC partners invaluable insight into the literal health of a portfolio to improve a VC’s founder support platform.

    Throughout, we ensure absolute privacy, confidentiality and anonymity, analyzing only aggregate results volunteered by consenting clients as our patients. The product-market fit for VCs and portfolio companies took several years to refine and was only possible with the commitment of our founding VC partner, Mosaic Ventures.

    Our research institute is dedicated to building on the evidence and best practices in this field with academic partners on the principles of health=wealth.

  • We started with 25 founders from the Mosaic portfolio, and now our programme has been embraced by other first-adopter VC partners,

    By the end of 2023, WellFounded is projected to complete the rollout to 150 startups worldwide. We would like to have 1,000 companies in the next 5 years - the most well-funded startups globally by the most health-conscious investors.

    All our VC partners are examples of how investors should support their Founders and companies, advocating for the evidence showing how company leadership prioritizing their health, performance and well-being makes for healthier, more attractive, and more successful businesses. Also, happier humans who are nicer to work and live with emerge, despite the extremes of stress, hours, travel, and uncertainty that startups face.

  • Curia Health, HQ’d in NYC and London, is our international medical practice, the merger of CHHP and MyMD, where we look after the long-term health and performance of many successful founders and investors, led by notable experts in medicine, physiology, coaching, and longevity research including Dr Paul Grewal, Dr Ran Crooke, Dr Alex Grewal, Dr Andy Crockett, and Dr Jim Brown.

Some of the cool tech we use, and you get.

We use a continuously evolving set of biosensors and technologies that you get in the programme and get to keep as a programme Alum in our ongoing WellFounded membership. In our research, we track, test and study almost every promising wearable and remote medicine device being developed. The future of medicine and human performance science will be delivered ‘virtually anywhere’. WellFounded was built as an example of a future health service combining technology with the best minds.

“But I already have this device!”

Don’t panic! We have a simple policy of taking this off the price of the programme or crediting you for future services.

  • Everyone receives an Oura ring within the Programme. If you already have one, no need to worry. You can either opt in and gift your new ring to friends or family, or opt out and we will deduct the price from your package and obtain access to your existing data.

  • All programmes have an option for continuous glucose monitoring. Advanced users can customize this with Zoe to combine CGM with biome analysis to track blood sugar fluctuations and overall metabolic and gastrointestinal health.

  • For those that opt for it or can’t get to one of our performance physiology labs like the CHHP Lab in London, we send you the most advanced remote alternative available today and you get to keep the kit forever! Currently, we use Withing’s most advance cardiac health monitoring scale and the industry-leading First Beat chest wearable for a 3-day VO2 and stress-recovery analysis.

  • We have tested and used a great, globally compliant systems such as Healthie as the basis of our shared records and communications system. It provides scheduling, instant comms and access to all your records. you can see progress on your programme plan at any time and can continue to use it as an alumni member.

  • We are experts and often chuckle and sometimes balk at what comes from artificial minds. However, we can save you, and us, enormous amounts of time summarising our conversations and researching interesting new things you’re looking for answers to. We can, with your consent, use a variety of tools like ChatGPT, Healthily and Read.ai to power our practice.

Pricing Methodology

The WellFounded Programme ranges from £7,000 / $8,500 to £14,000 / $16,500 (ex VAT) over 6 months, subject to cohort size, exchange rate and programme customisations. This is normally a fully deductible expense. Individuals may join outside of their company as a private medical service and this case VAT may not apply.

Large-cohort pricing for teams and VC portfolios

Typically we try to deliver WellFounded for £7,000 / $8,500 per person for larger portfolios and teams. VC’s wishing to sponsor and co-pay for WellFounded across their portfolio’s founders/CEO’s benefit from significant savings with the economies of scale, a single ‘launch’ event, a well-defined on-boarding period and post programme impact analysis. 10-20 people are onboarded per month. Pricing depends on medical jurisdiction and customisations but our target for is £7,000 / $8,500 pp for 100+ sized portfolios. The same pricing applies to others referred by those on the programme, such as team members or family members. We provide generous protections in our refund policy and a ‘break out’ clause in the event of low adoption.

Co-pay model for sponsoring VC’s & portfolio co’s

A big learning in developing WellFounded was how to give the founders of ‘lean’ start-ups self-permission to make their health and performance a priority. The optimal sponsorship model for programme uptake and adherence is:

  • VC co-pays 50% of the total all the programmes (eg £3,500pp) spread over the onboarding period (eg 12 months) - covers setup, launch and core running costs.

  • Portfolio Co’ pay 50% (eg £3,500) over 6 months from start of onboarding - for their experts consults, coaching, devices & labs.

  • Founders may invite others at maximum discount (eg £7,000) in the onboarding period.

  • All programme alumni may continue membership benefits at maximum discount currently £300 / $375 per month.

  • Subsidised pricing for large cohorts, VC Portfolios and Research Partners (prices per person including set up, launch and pre, mid and post programme analysis)

    30+ : £12,000 / $15,000+
    50+ : £10,000 / $12,500+
