Health Equity

We believe that good health is good for business

Despite significant investments in public health, many health disparities persist due to structural discrimination, income inequality, lack of access to healthcare, and poor social and environmental conditions. Meanwhile, health tech has shown itself to be a promising sector of growth and impact. However, there is a lack of concerted effort to use the power of technology and venture investing to solve for health disparities. Firefly Innovations exists to bridge this gap.

Through public health entrepreneurship, Firefly Innovations helps reduce health disparities by widening the space for business opportunities through a social determinants of health framework and by bringing entrepreneurs and investors together into public health to address some of the greatest challenges facing society today.

Firefly Innovations aims to support a diverse array of technology-enabled startups that tackle the multiple dimensions of health and wellbeing, including educational, occupational, financial, social, behavioral, and clinical solutions.

Firefly Innovations provides a platform where innovative solutions can be developed and scaled to address the real needs of underserved communities. We converge the public and private sectors so that talents and resources can be pooled and leveraged to create the greatest impact on population wellbeing.
