Advocacy

This is the mission, and it's the reason the rest exists. Everything that isn't a client engagement lives here. This is where we bring people together around what matters in healthcare. There's real power in our voices when we use them together, and a lot of what we do here is about being a convener and an enabler of that. Fair warning: this side has been evolving all year, and that's been the fun of it. This is where it's landed for now, and it'll keep growing.

How the mission connects to the work

Advocacy and Advisory aren't two separate things; they feed each other. On the advisory side, we're intentional about who we build with: founders solving a problem because they've lived it, not just chasing a business model. 

Once we're in, we help with the early business model, the GTM motion, the first clinical design partner, the introductions to the right insiders. 

Then comes the connective tissue: we bring those founders into the rooms that matter, so they build the trust and third-party credibility that actually opens doors. Great products don't win on their own in healthcare. Trusted people, in the right rooms, telling a true story do. That's the whole point of convening.


The Tide

The industry, filtered through our brains in newsletter form.

Sign up and we'll land in your inbox with the stories, people, and moments worth your attention. We're more of an "ish" crew than a set-schedule crew, so fair warning on the cadence!


Azul Heart Socials

Smaller, casual gatherings where the good conversations happen. No agenda, no pitches, no exclusions on who can attend, just the right people in a fun spot. More on the IRL Events page.


Convenings

Bigger gatherings around the topics that aren't getting enough attention, or need a louder voice. Think story circles, a shared output afterward, and real conversation, with zero conference-badge energy. Head to IRL Events for what's coming up.


Wave Makers

Our podcast, built to hand the mic to the people making waves in healthcare. We've got a running list of guests and a stack of ideas, but here's the thing: we're building it with you, not just for you. We have IDEAS, and we want to hear what you actually want to talk about and who you want to hear from. Want to be a guest, or nominate one? Get on the list, we're collecting now!


Let's Move Healthcare Forward, Together.

Whether you're building a company, leading change, advocating for patients, or creating new ideas for healthcare, we'd love to connect.
