The days of going to the doctor to get that routine check-up seem to be coming to an end and we are confident this time no one will be looking back at them with nostalgia. Working, fitness, education, entertainment, fine dining, and even breadmaking are all sectors that have made themselves comfortable in our homes (do we really need to say why?) and now healthcare is the latest to come knocking.In TheVentureCity, we see telehealth and at-home medical testing as sectors with a lot of growth potential, that is why we have decided to invest in Base and Paloma Health, two health tech startups providing health solutions to Americans currently struggling to meet their health care needs. With lockdowns and fear of infection still keeping people cooped up, companies like Base and Paloma Healthcare are filling an essential gap for millions of people. Through testing and digital solutions, these companies provide safer, more affordable, and more convenient alternatives to inefficient and costly hospital visits.
