Grand rounds is the ritual of gathering a hospital’s most experienced clinicians to work through the hardest cases together. It's where the best thinking in medicine has always happened. We apply that format to building companies.
Eight to twelve founders. A private dining room. No panels, no pitches, no slides. A carefully assembled table of people navigating the same terrain as you. In the same vertical. At the same stage.
Every dinner draws from one of three tables. You’ll be seated among people who understand your buyers, your regulators, and the particular texture of your week.
Virtual-first practices, specialty networks, home-based care. Companies whose product is the care itself.
Clinical tools, revenue cycle, payer-facing platforms. The enabling layer beneath modern healthcare.
Drug development, diagnostics, medical devices. The biology-to-medicine interface.
Every dinner is assembled by stage. Founders who have raised similar capital, or are navigating similar revenue milestones, sit together. We verify this at intake, so the founder across from you is working through the same decisions you are, not ones they solved three years ago.
The goal isn’t networking. It’s the specific kind of relief that comes from being in a room where you don’t have to explain your situation before getting to the substance of it.
Most seats are filled through warm referrals: existing guests, and networks including Stanford, Berkeley, Y Combinator, Berkeley SkyDeck, and comparable accelerator and university programs. We'd rather grow slowly through people we trust than open the door wide.
Every guest is added to a WhatsApp group with the rest of the community. As Grand Rounds grows, we’re building toward something more ambitious: a community that tells us what it needs, and hosts who go get it. Curated sittings with payers, health systems, or regulators. Grand Rounds is the front door.
Grand Rounds has worked with law firms, banking partners, and healthcare investors who want to support focused founder rooms without turning dinner into a pitch event.
