Panelists: Jay Goss Before becoming a venture capitalist\, Jay Goss helped bring companies\, a lot of them\, to life and created growth spurts for companies that have been been around for a while\, but find themselves stalled. Jay has built\, run and "growth spurted" businesses across a variety of different industries/sectors &ndash\; digital and traditional &ndash\; working entrepreneurially for early stage companies (from zero to five years old)\, and "intrapreneurially" inside large organizations such as Disney\, Reed Elsevier\, Summa Group and UCLA\, building new business units on their behalf. While these companies have been all over the map in terms of industry\, the common denominators have been helping companies develop (or re-work) their go-to-market strategy and sticking around to actually execute the plan\, and helping companies with fund-raising (Jay&rsquo\;s companies have raised money from friends and family\, angels\, HNWI\, strategics\, venture capitalists\, crowd-funding\, celebrities\, family offices\, and overseas investors). Jay is currently a General Partner at Wavemaker Three-Sixty Health. Wavemaker Three-Sixty Health is a Pasadena-based venture fund led by seasoned healthcare executive John Nackel (former head of E&\;Y&rsquo\;s global healthcare practice and CEO of UnitedHealth Group&rsquo\;s Ingenix Consulting\, now Optum) and Jay Goss. The fund focuses on healthcare start-ups seeking Seed and Series A investment. The fund&rsquo\;s investment thesis is that after 40 years\, healthcare is transitioning away from fee-for-service to value-based payments\, and with that comes a massive amount of disruption. There will be no shortage of clinical operations and business challenges to solve in the coming decade\, and entrepreneurs are already coming out of the woodwork to solve these problems. Moreover\, countless business models are now for the first time commercially viable because the healthcare industry is embracing value-based payments. Jeanine Jacobson Jeanine Jacobson is the longest tenured Founder Institute Director\, and as such\, she has been instrumental in growing FI's product\, curriculum\, and local programs. While the Founder Institute currently operates chapters in over 180 cities worldwide\, Jeanine launched the first ever Founder Institute chapter outside of Silicon Valley way back in Autumn 2009 (in San Diego/Orange County). Since then\, Jeanine has also taken over the Los Angeles and Orange County Founder Institute Chapters and has undoubtedly played a strong role in building the vibrant startup ecosystem you find in Southern California today. In total\, Jeanine has helped launch over 200 Founder Institute Graduates across her San Diego\, Los Angeles\, and Orange County chapters - including some of the fastest growing companies from our global portfolio like Realty Mogul\, Feetz\, and InvolveSoft. With her extensive business background\, vast knowledge of the SoCal tech scene\, and unflagging work ethic\, it's easy to see why Jeanine has become one of the region&rsquo\;s top startup luminaries. Jeanine has an MSN &\; MBA from the University of San Diego. Sara Mintzer Sara Mintzer is the Southern California Regional Manager for Cross Campus\, a Southern California based network of flexible office spaces and event venues.
