Hunt · searching for Network

Board members for healthcare AI ventures

A venture board is useful when at least one member has personally shut something down. We are looking for people with a documented record of ending a program, not only of launching one.

Native Alpha™ sought. Comfort with a written kill condition, and the standing to enforce it.

Who fits and who doesn't

What would qualify them

Held fiduciary responsibility somewhere real
Can point to a program they ended and explain the decision
Understands both clinical risk and software delivery

What would rule them out

Board seats collected as credentials
No operating history in a regulated setting

Signals we watch

Reasons to look closer, none of them proof

Public post mortems
Testimony or written comment on health technology oversight
Named in filings tied to a wind down

What a candidate looks like

This is the written answer you would get for each candidate: why they surfaced, what backs it, what we don't know, and what to do next. The person below is a composite, not a real individual.

Evidence packet · illustrative

Illustrative candidate: a former digital health operator

Former chief product officer, regulated digital health company

Surfaced for: Board members for healthcare AI ventures
Why surfaced: Published a detailed account of ending a monitoring product, including the threshold that triggered the decision and what it cost.
Current signals: Public post mortem with numbers
Written comment on a software as a medical device guidance
Advisory work limited to two companies
Possible Native Alpha™: Treats a kill condition as a design artifact rather than an admission of failure.
Why it might matter: Every venture we charter carries a written closure condition. A board that will not enforce it makes the condition decorative.
Evidence: Published the wind down accountSource: Personal site
Filed comment on device software guidanceSource: Federal docket
Known relationship: Second degree. A Fund I operator worked with them previously.
Unknowns: Availability
Whether the account matches what other participants remember
Suggested next action: Ask the Fund I operator for context before any direct contact.
Confidence and status: Medium confidence · Reviewed

What this search has taught us so far

The people who write publicly about a program they ended are a very small set, and almost all of them were worth talking to.
