General Catalyst’s Hemant Taneja: “There should be no Amazon of healthcare” Hemant Taneja, managing partner of digital health VC firm General Catalyst, spoke with Digital Health Business & Technology about a potential downturn in the digital health investment market, his health assurance fund and more.

"My belief is that there should be no Amazon of healthcare. There should be no trillion-dollar company. Venture capitalists in healthcare should build a trillion-dollar ecosystem. I would like to see an ecosystem of companies that collectively view health assurance as something that they strive for and collaborate toward because each of their respective missions is bigger than their individual success. If we create that ecosystem, I think it will achieve the principles of health assurance. Responsible innovation in healthcare is the principle of health insurance. That’s really what we're trying to create. Seeing companies come together to achieve that is my dream". - General Catalyst’s Hemant Taneja

Your only choice: what not to watch." -
