Private funding for healthcare startups has already smashed records.

The industry had eclipsed $20 billion in total funding raised by the end of September, which was already double the entirety of private funding in 2020, $4.

Throughout the year, $4.

The presentations were largely published in full with minimal edits from the versions that founders showed to investors in-person or virtually.

Through an additional analysis, a few common traits emerged among the most successful presentations:

• First, the presentations typically included at least 10 slides. On average, the presentations were between 13 and 15 slides in total, with a $4 that included more than 20 individual slides.
• Most presentations also included industry data making the business' case to investors. For some companies like $4, this meant including demographic data along with anecdotal data to more accurately estimate the potential market size of the company. These figures often help investors decide on a company's valuation during the deal negotiation process.
• Longer presentations often included customer testimonies as well, whether via customer reviews or social media accounts of a patients' experience.
