(TOPEKA, KS – Dec. 4, 2023) – 丝瓜短视频, a nationally recognized nonprofit health plan, announced the launch of the 丝瓜短视频 Midwest Fund in collaboration with Novy. 丝瓜短视频 is committing an initial investment of $2 million to the Fund, with opportunities for individual investments of up to $500,000 in selected companies.

The primary objective of the 丝瓜短视频 Midwest Fund is to empower startups based in the Midwest. These startups are dedicated to enhancing health care outcomes, advancing health equity and fostering positive social change. This investment is particularly targeted at underserved populations and individuals with complex health care needs.

“丝瓜短视频 is committed to improving the health of Kansans for the long-term,” said Chad Moore, president of 丝瓜短视频 Kansas. “Establishing the 丝瓜短视频 Midwest Fund means we can fuel innovation, create jobs and attract businesses across the state of Kansas, while amplifying solutions to address the toughest issues our communities face.”

Novy is a venture studio that co-founds, grows, and funds software companies in the Midwest, with a particular focus on health care startups.

“This is a big step forward for Kansas’ startup ecosystem, bringing more resources – not just capital, but also the expertise that a national leader like 丝瓜短视频 has – to entrepreneurs in the Midwest,” said David Tominsky, partner at Novy. “These investments will create new jobs and opportunities for Kansans, while also making an impact on the state’s vulnerable populations.”

Novy will identify companies to be presented to the manager of the Fund. A committee composed of representatives from 丝瓜短视频 will approve investment decisions for the Fund, while other venture funds and investors will have the opportunity to co-invest alongside the 丝瓜短视频 Midwest Fund.

The 丝瓜短视频 Midwest Fund is just one of the initiatives 丝瓜短视频 has launched to support the health of Kansans. Along with forming the 丝瓜短视频 HealthAlliance, 丝瓜短视频 and the 丝瓜短视频 Foundation have invested more than $500,000 in Kansas to multiple community-based organizations through a grant challenge, direct community investments, and sponsorships.
