Hi there! I'm Kevin O’Leary, a Minnesotan tinkering on new ideas in health care that connect new care models, payment models, and technologies.

My Newsletter.

I write a weekly newsletter on all things I find interesting in healthcare innovation each week. It generally focuses on topics across care delivery models, payment models, and new technologies. It’s pretty awesome… and you should sign up.

You can sign up for the Substack newsletter by entering your email below:


The Slack Channel

Also, I host a Slack Channel for folks who want to chat about the newsletter, and any / all other topics related to healthcare innovation. If you want to partake, shoot me an email and I’ll send you the link.

Background.

I’m a Minneapolis boy who has bounced around the healthcare industry for more time than I’d like to admit at this point. I’ve spent time at a digital therapeutic startup I founded in grad school, a health insurance + primary care delivery startup, a consultant to medical device and EMR companies, and a health system in Minneapolis. I started my career as an healthcare investment banker working with medical device companies.

Also, for clarity, I am not the dude from Shark Tank. And yes, I know it’s shocking but I have gotten this before.
