Our Mission

To build a world-class, sustainable healthy living ecosystem for all.


Kaleidoscope Health Ventures brings together world class talent and partners to build the next generation healthy living environment. There is no better place to launch this important initiative than Chicago—a city that has epitomized the essence of experimentation, renewal, and progress for generations. This community will serve as a model for the future by addressing key health issues while accelerating a new wave of life science startups and healthcare solutions.

The community we build will inspire similar, next-generation communities around the globe. We will partner with innovators to design and manage additional healthcare incubators and accelerators to extend the impact of our venture throughout other cities around the world.
