Sorensen Capital
Overview
- Stage focus: Pre-seed through Series A (mostly pre-seed/seed)
- Check size: $2-6M (flexible $1.5-7M)
- Healthcare thesis: Not pure healthcare fund but has relevant exposure (AI platform for SNFs). Software + Security focus. Understands reimbursement complexity.
- Key people: Chris Hulme (early stage), Eric (partner — senior relationship)
Relationship History
| Date | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spring 2025 | Initial chat with Eric | Good conversation, shared the idea pre-graduation |
| 2026-02-06 | Intro call with Chris | Very positive. Chris immediately understood problem space (SNF parallels). "Huge problem, messy, good opportunity." Fast process. |
Status
- Current stage: Team review (completed Mon Feb 10) → awaiting feedback
- Next step: OVERDUE — Should have heard Mon/Tue. Follow up with Chris.
- Temperature: Warm-Hot (most enthusiastic response so far, but going quiet is a risk signal)
What They Care About
- Low concentration, high conviction — select few investments with deep support
- Opening doors — design partners, executive intros, strategic hires
- Operator mentality (Chris ran a company) — wants to be extension of team
- Healthcare reimbursement complexity (pattern match from SNF portfolio)
Concerns to Address
- Contract details still TBD — didn't push hard but will need more specifics if they advance
- Not a pure healthcare fund — healthcare team conviction will matter
Materials Sent
- Deck (committed to sending)
Notes
- Most promising new investor relationship from this batch. Fast process, genuine understanding of the problem, right check size.
- Chris's SNF portfolio company is a strong internal comp — similar dynamics (reimbursement optimization, clinical data analysis, time pressure).
- No ownership target — prefer co-lead with complementary value. Could work well alongside a healthcare-specialist lead.
- Eric is the partner relationship — Chris is entry point. Both need to be on board.
- Bay Area connection with Michael (Palo Alto/Saratoga) — natural rapport.
