HealthTech Startups

Great talking to Dave. With no prior information he has been able to give us some clear insights on where to focus and where to expect barriers in the rollout of our service.

Dave is very insightful and one hell of a sharp guy! He really clarified some things for me allowing me to see what I should be focusing on.

Dave provided very helpful feedback on some GTM and fundraising questions that will likely save me a lot of time in the long-run. Valuable call. Thanks, Dave!

Dave is fantastic... Got some awesome advice on product GTM strategies.

Got the confirmation we needed to move forward on a few fronts and a reference to a valuable resource we can use. Great call.

As Americans paradoxically grower sicker despite the burgeoning health care spend rate with far too many suffering from avoidable chronic disease, Dave Chase understands that greater emphasis must be placed on lower cost, primary and preventative care and coaching if the United States is to have any real hope of bending the burgeoning medical cost curve.

Dave deserves great credit for pointing out how a little noticed provision of the Affordable Care Act can accomplish this and return health insurance to what it should be -- a way of paying for high cost, unexpected care -- while at the same time achieving the triple aim of reduced cost, better health outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.

Dave has established Avado as a thought leader in the healthtech arena. His vision is leading Avado to be the standard bearer for a key new category of software (Patient Relationship Management) that will be imperative as healthcare shifts from a reactive to a proactive model. He's done his homework to work with those organizations that are ahead of the curve so their product meets the requirements of tomorrow, not the past.

Dave Chase lives and breathes health care, not in the usual "consultant" way that most "experts" see it: as a complex highly evolved and regulated, highly monetized arena to understand and master. He sees it as a world in dire need of change and evolution. Those of us who live in this world rarely find "experts" who see the disaster that is American medicine and intend to do something that will liberate and resuscitate us and our patients. Dave is one of those people, not simply a commentator but also a saavy participant in the solution. He is one of the rare business-minded people who really understand that health care is more than business, but necessarily and primarily a human endeavor that matters and in which the needs of the patients come first if there is to be any point to the business. His roots go back to Accenture, course through the creation of Microsoft's healthcare group and now exist in a startup Avado that doesn't "work the system" but actually evolves the art and science of communication between doctor and patient. He is an astute listener and thinker who knows where the bodies are buried in medicine, but he is also a creative and courageous force in the remodeling and salvaging of our American health care system.

Dave is a gifted entrepreneur with genuine insight about what makes businesses successful. In our broadband initiatives, Dave gave us outstanding leadership about the kinds of new applications we needed in order to make the connected lifestyle a reality. Further, his personal networks and his evangelism for our efforts were instrumental in helping us gather support across Microsoft.

Dave is a true visionary in the new media industry. I have come to value his high-level perspective and tangible contributions to push the industry forward. I highly recommend working with him.
