Caduceus Capital Partners adds to team

Friday, January 31, 2025
Opalesque Industry Update - Venture capital firm Caduceus Capital Partners announced the addition of Ryan McKindles as a new managing partner. McKindles brings two decades of experience in healthcare technology consulting, entrepreneurship, and legal expertise to this new position, where he will play an integral role in strategy and execution of fundraising and investing on behalf of Caduceus.

Prior to joining Caduceus, McKindles served as co-founder and president of Healthrise, a company dedicated to achieving sustainable efficiencies for health systems through consulting, technology solutions and EHR services. In the first 12 years of operation, Healthrise served 25+ health systems with more than 400 EHR implementations and managed $35 billion in revenue on behalf of their clients. Before co-founding Healthrise, McKindles was partner at law firm Nemes, Rooney & McKindles.

"Caduceus is renowned for its remarkable network and team of industry veterans who possess a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the business of healthcare," said Dave Vreeland, senior managing partner, Caduceus Capital Partners. "Ryan's experience as a founder working in the trenches of health systems to solve problems effectively and creatively will be a huge asset as our company continues to expand."

Since its founding in 2020, Caduceus Capital Partners has established itself as a premier franchise fund in early-stage digital health venture capital. With a focused investment philosophy centered on digital health innovation, the firm consistently identifies and supports transformative startups at the pre-seed and seed stages, delivering strong, repeatable returns across multiple fund cycles.

"In getting to know Dave and Scott, I've been inspired by their thesis and approach to healthcare investing," said McKindles. "My passion lies in building relationships and growing healthcare businesses that succeed. I'm thrilled to join this high-performing team in shaping the future of digital health."

Earlier this month, Caduceus introduced a new service line, Caduceus LAUNCH, an accelerator program designed to fast-track pre-seed digital health startups, driving transformative impact and unlocking profitable growth.
