Affiliated Funds
AIDIF
The Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation Fund was established in 2020 to invest in commercial stage digital health and AI based companies that address unmet needs at Mass General Brigham and are not based on technologies emerging from the health system.
A $30M fund, we work closely with the health system’s clinical, operations, research and digital leadership to identify key areas for investment focus and with Innovation’s Business Development group to identify potential co-development opportunities. We seek to co-invest with strong syndicate partners who can help these early commercial companies scale.
Please contact Gaye Bok, Partner, for more information about AIDIF.
