4 2016 YEAR END SUMMARY 2016 was the beginning of the health sector s Moonshot Movement. Thousands of entrepreneurs, industry leaders and investors, coupled with a generation of new industry entrants started to rethink the future of health. From Vice President Joe Biden s Cancer Moonshot to speed up the progress in ending cancer as we know it, to The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to cure all disease within 100 years, billions of dollars are being committed to health innovation - a mindset that exponential progress is possible Record-Breaking Digital Health Funding: Nearly $8 Billion was invested in over 500 digital health companies alone. This staggering figure has fueled innovation across the board in medicine, infrastructure and consumer-driven health. New Investors Pour In: More than 200 new investors entered the funding ecosystem in 2016, putting the total unique investors at almost 900. These investors come from a variety of institutions and geographies, beyond the traditional VC and angel investor, ranging from Fortune 500 to Private Equity. Investors Support Early Stage Innovation: Investors continue to support early-stage startups with hundreds of Seed and Series A Rounds this year. The urgency is now, it s about changing the culture, it s about coming up with a new strategy. -Vice President Joe Biden, at StartUp Health s Showcase at The Cleveland Clinic Medical Innovation Summit A Year of Mega Deals: Big deals dominated 2016 with almost 25% of all funding invested into five deals. It s no coincidence that companies receiving large amounts of capital like Onduo or Human Longevity Inc. are examples of companies with bold visions, setting out to achieve Moonshots. Delivering Care & Content Receives Most Funding: Almost 160 patient/consumer experience focused companies received funding in between 2-3x as many as other subsectors. Patient engagement and behavior change remain largely unsolved problems and while these early stage companies continue to experiment, we look forward to new models and strategies emerging that incorporate lessons learned.

Because of a lower barrier to entry, in comparison to a personalized health/ quantified- Self company, there are more companies emerging and competing within the market. There is still plenty of opportunity in this area and there will be a need for focused solutions to help people with any ailment. 6 Big Data/Analytics $562M 54 $10M 7 Population Health $436M 52 $8M 8 Clinical Decision Support $332M 22 $15M 9 Research $280M 28 $10M 10 E-commerce $277M 17 $16M One of the most exciting things in 2017 will be the continued emergence of blockchain technology in healthcare to power a more secure and transparent healthcare system.

There are currently many apps which track things like miles ran, calories, and other parameters, but what s often missing is what this data means in terms of what the user should do. With advances in artificial intelligence, apps will be able to more effectively communicate whether it s time for a day off from the gym, if you should run an extra mile, or if you should start consuming more orange juice to get the necessary vitamin C. - Corey Mccarran, COO, Titanovo Source: StartUp Health Insights startuphealth.com/insights Note: Report based on public data on seed, venture, corporate venture and private equity funding only StartUp Health LLC 17

24 INSIGHTS FROM HEALTH TRANSFORMERS Imagine a world though, where you can be in NYC, Springfield or Mali and have access to an identical level of care - Hunter Howard, Founder, President The recent developments in technology in 2016 now allow medical entrepreneurs to enter the world of digital health with a much lower technological threshold. - Ansgar Bittermann, Founder, CEO The change in access to care is going to be powerful and lead to happier and healthier people everywhere. I can't wait - Coley Parry, Founder, CEO I am thrilled to see that the healthcare ecosystem is being more receptive to AI and I am excited to see how our ecosystem really maximizes it to cut patient cost down and deliver better patient outcomes to all. - Alex Guastella, Founder If we change ourselves, the realities of the world will change. I look forward to the day where all people, of all diversities, break the boundaries between healthcare provider and patient and celebrate the truth that we are all patients and we all have a responsibility in creating a better, sustainable world- especially in Health. I'm most excited about our world taking action towards the advancement of understanding, the destruction of ideologies and judgements, and the growth of consciousness. I know that health will play a central role in this growth of mankind. - Teddy Hodges, Founder, CEO In 2017, we are most excited to see online healthcare increasingly become not only a tool to get quick online help from a doctor for a specific problem, but also a channel to deepen and extend your offline relationship with your preferred provider - Eric Price, Founder, CEO The gap between idea and implementation is a difficult one to bridge, which makes 2017 a truly exciting time to be an innovator in aging-in-place technologies. 1 - Jean Anne Booth, Founder, CEO 2017 will be a year of big change and disruption. We will have to deal with some negative pressures but new opportunities can be born in such a highpressure environment, and I believe that innovations by private companies and startups will fill the void created when the government steps back - Maksim Tsvetovat, Founder, CTO I am excited that there is more interest in Mental Health than ever before and changes are coming in federal regulations to increase the attention in this area. - Beth Sanders, Founder, CEO 1 Source: StartUp Health Insights startuphealth.com/insights Note: Report based on public data on seed, venture, corporate venture and private equity funding only StartUp Health LLC 24

25 METHODOLOGIES Sectors: We have a broad view of digital health and believe that the current trend is a cross-pollination of technology and data with all aspects of health and healthcare. StartUp Health Insights TM tracks companies that enable health, wellness and the delivery of care through data / analytics, sensors, mobile, internet-of-things, 3D printing and genomics and personalized medicine. StartUp Health tracks companies based on their sectors, subsectors and specialties. Investments in subsectors and specialties are not mutually exclusive, as deals are tagged with multiple subsectors and specialties based on the company s focus. Q2 of 2015 brought with it an extensive database quality assessment. A new system was implemented allowing StartUp Health to track innovation with enhanced granularity. Additionally, gaps in funding data were researched and added into our database enabling us to identify fundings previously unaccounted for in previous reports. Stage of Funding: StartUp Health Insights TM records only publicly available data on cash for equity investments as the cash is actually received by the company. StartUp Health Insights TM is inclusive of accelerator, pre-seed, seed, venture, corporate venture and private equity funding. Early stage: The company has raised a Seed or Series A round Mid stage: The company has raised a Series B or Series C round Late stage: The company has raised a Series D or other growth equity round StartUp Health also tracks incubator rounds and other financings into privatelyheld entities (e.g. unnamed venture rounds, strategic investments, growth equity and private equity). In tabulating deal activity by stage we excluded rounds not clearly associated with a specific stage.
