The Next Practices Group

The Next Practices Group is an early-stage venture capital firm dedicated to addressing the root causes of poor and disparate health outcomes through whole-person care solutions. Founded in 2019, the firm partners with founders who are enhancing human capability by providing innovative healthcare access. By leveraging diverse networks and experiences as operators, athletes, and patients, they aim to redefine whole-person health by aligning upstream solutions with downstream care, thereby improving outcomes and lowering costs.

Their investment strategy focuses on companies that offer proactive and interconnected care across the health continuum, believing that progress is limited when care decisions are made in isolation. The firm seeks to optimize and integrate upstream and downstream care, supporting startups that are pioneering hardware and software innovations aimed at providing more efficient and improved care.

The Next Practices Group's portfolio includes a diverse range of companies such as BranchLab, WTHN, Ramble, Cofertility, Eternal, Pair Team, Oura Ring, Vital Biosciences, Trial Library, Outside, SteadyMD, Terra, Mood Health, Juno Medical, and Prose Foods. These investments reflect the firm's commitment to supporting innovative solutions that enhance human capability and improve health outcomes across various sectors, including healthcare, technology, consumer goods, media, sports, fitness, food and beverage, retail, education, transportation, real estate, financial services, energy, telecommunications, and manufacturing.
