In this episode of Fireside with a VC, I sit down with Arvin Grover, General Partner at Digital Health Venture Partners (DHVP), to dive into how AI is reshaping healthcare and where the biggest opportunities are for founders and investors.


We discuss:

· Why roughly 22% of the healthcare sector has adopted AI compared to 9% in the broader economy

· The most compelling use cases for AI across the healthcare value chain

· How targeted AI solutions and sector-focused innovation can rejuvenate America’s competitiveness

· What it takes for a digital health–focused venture fund to thrive (or fail) under shifting market conditions

This video explains how a VC Fund of Funds (FoF) works. It explains how we raise LP capital from investors, how cash is paid into the fund and how cash is paid back to LPs. I explain how the management fees and carry work, how this compares to a classic VC fund that invests directly in startups, how the risk is lower, how the payments back to LPs are expected to be much steadiers, multiples, and other ways to compare an FoF to a VC fund and how they work together.

This video / episode is NOT for my usual audience, but explains how venture capital works to someone who is new to VC. We recently had new LPs invest in our VC funds, and they were not clear about how VC differs from a hedge fund. They were not clear on how they pay their cash into the fund, how the management fees and carry / performance fee work, and how we make cash distributions back to them, and how they get their money back and are paid profits. This video explains how classic VC works, how 2&20 works, and how and when distributions are made when we sell shares from IPO, M&A, or secondary transactions.
