2015 was the year digital health funding hit its stride and 2016 is stepping it up a notch with a record-setting first quarter. Signs continue to point to a market transitioning from something reminiscent of the Wild West to the early stages of maturity.
2016 Q1 Summary
1 2016 Starts Strong: With a record $1.8B in funding, Q1 2016 started with big numbers. 2016 already saw 4 deals over $100M, as compared to 7 in all of 2015.
2Big Data / Analytics No Longer a Buzzword: We’ve seen buzzwords come and go, but big data has become a household name. As a robust ecosystem of startups begins to mature, we’re seeing data wranglers establish real ROI, both on the clinical and financial realms, and receive the financing they need to grow. We expect to see the days of point solutions disappear as more versatile data analytics companies begin to proliferate and gain significant market share.
3Nuanced Investors: The most active investors in 2016 include institutional VCs, as well as a hospital system and a payor, continuing the trend of previous years of a diverse investor base. Large organizations ramp up their investments and begin placing bets as they increasingly look externally for innovation. With such a disruptive digital health landscape, looking outside the walls of an institution is becoming an important strategy.
4
Drop in Deal Volume, Increase in Funding: We tracked approximately $600M and 600 deals in 2013 - ever since, funding has swelled and deal volume has dropped. While there is still an extremely active Seed ecosystem, all signs point to venture learning - learning what a successfully positioned digital health startup looks like, learning about competition dynamics, about what solutions have business models that work and who can prove ROI. With that learning comes backing for more mid-stage and late-stage deals.
5New York Takes the Lead: New York overtook the San Francisco Bay Area in funding amount this quarter, in large part due to Oscar’s $400M funding. Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Chicago are also great examples of new bustling health tech hubs that 5 years ago were not on the map.

2016 starts off with a record setting $1.8B quarter. While 22% of that funding was directed to the insurance upstart, Oscar Health, the remaining funding was distributed in increasingly mature rounds.
Over the past three years, some months repetitively correlate to dips and peaks. Starting in 2014, we have seen an emerging trend in venture funding, indicating a rhythm to the digital health investment landscape at large.

The Top 10 Most Active Markets of 2016
DEALS & FUNDING
Big data / analytics is the most active market, partially due to Flatiron’s $175M raise, increasing 42% over Q1 2015. Average deal sizes fluctuate substantially based on the market.
With 4 deals over the $100M mark, as compared to 7 in all of 2015, companies that are proving their models are attracting investors willing to invest heavily on larger rounds.
Early-stage deals grew in size, increasing from $3.1M in 2015 to $3.9M in 2016. This 26% increase is a strong signal investors are continuing to support the wave of emerging health innovation.

Q1 2016 has seen some of last year’s top investors maintain their high frequency investment habits, but we’ve also seen new players enter the scene in the first few months of the year.
So far in 2016, more than 200 investors have deployed capital in digital health, with more than 29 organizations investing in 2 or more deals in Q1 already.
As the overall digital health industry continues to expand, startups serving 50+ consumers - either directly or through providers, payors and other healthcare stakeholders - are increasingly attracting investment.
This report spotlights two categories of startups: 50+ relevant companies and 50+ focused companies. Companies in both categories align with at least one of AARP’s 9 areas of opportunity:
The 50+ relevant category includes companies, both B2C and B2B2C, with products or services that could be used by 50+ consumers. This excludes practice management solutions, compliance software, lab support tools and other enterprise systems that do not have a consumer touchpoint, as well as companies specifically targeting other demographics like children and young families.
The 50+ focused category includes B2C companies that specifically target 50+ consumers and B2B2C companies that provide products and services to payors, providers and others that serve 50+ consumers.
