From Investor Pitch to Eventual Partnership
Interview With HealthQuest Capital Founder Garheng Kong
Garheng Kong is the only member of his family who isn’t a practicing physician, but he’s still involved in their profession: through funding healthcare advancements as a venture capitalist.
Garheng’s resume is broad and deep. He has earned numerous degrees from two of the nation’s most prestigious universities — Stanford and Duke — and funded an equally impressive collection of healthcare companies throughout his career.
Garheng got his start in investing with Intersouth Partners and Sofinnova Investments. After fine-tuning his skills, he launched HealthQuest Capital, a private asset firm focused on providing growth capital to companies transforming the healthcare industry.
Garheng and his team see up to 1,000 investment opportunities in any given year. The experience has taught him how to assess which ones are right for the firm, and which he can afford to let go.
In this interview, Garheng shares keen insights for startups and innovators preparing to pursue funding, along with observations about how the healthcare industry has shifted thanks to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
