Soul Search’s differentiation relies on our wholehearted approach to connect to the visions and motivations of each individual person.
If you’re an investor or founder, you want your business to win and that requires a team of winning players. You have a game plan and we scout the top 1% of talent, constantly assessing and reassessing, to ensure you meet and recruit the unique and purpose-driven executives to level up your organization.
If you’re here as an executive, your desire is to have a meaningful impact. You see a path for more ubiquitous healthcare. Maybe you saw or experienced the health system and know it can be done better. Or, your interest stems from the opportunity to disrupt an enormous market sector. The opportunities in digital health can mean the difference in life and death, pain or ease of suffering, lack of access. You can make a difference.
Connecting executives from inside and outside of healthcare. Our relationship-first model, combined with fearless conversations, derisks your startup. We strive for deep alignment with our boards and founders to develop the go-to-market plan specific to each project. We work intently and aggressively to ensure great outcomes.
