Patient as the Payer Salon

​Join organizers MarkOne Health and Women in Healthtech with sponsor Mercury Bank for an invite-only conversation about the future of healthcare venture design and finance.

The success of patient-first platforms like Sunflower Sober, Mishe, and Function represents a pivotal shift—a direct response to three decades of healthcare systems prioritizing enterprise needs over patient empowerment.

We believe that unlike previous direct-to-consumer and direct primary care models, these companies are fundamentally different. They're building patient-first economic models not as an endpoint, but as leverage to redefine how they engage with government, payers, and providers on their own terms.

We invite you to join a curated gathering of builders, operators, investors, and providers to explore how these shifting priorities are creating unprecedented opportunities for both human and economic impact in healthcare.
