Late last year, Virginia-based nonprofit hospital network Inova announced moves to form an investment fund and accelerator to back startups. They’ve got big plans, with the Washington Post reporting a goal to invest at least $100 million over the next 3-5 years, mainly focused on medical device and analytics companies.
On Thursday, July 27, the investment efforts are likely to come up when managing director Hooks Johnston is the guest for a fireside chat at the latest Startup Grind DC.
Before joining Inova, Johnston had leadership roles at venture firms Valhalla Partners and FBR Technology Venture Partners. He was also CEO of supply chain software company Roadshow International.
The event is set to be held at 1776, and begins at 6 p.m.
