Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Aegis Ventures
Health Evolution Partner Committee

John Beadle is co-founder and managing partner of Aegis Ventures, a New York-based venture studio that partners with entrepreneurs and industry leaders to originate, launch, and scale transformative companies that improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare inequities, and transform how health tech is innovated and deployed. John leads the studio’s efforts to tackle healthcare’s biggest challenges, from clinician burnout to health equity and financial sustainability.

Most recently, John spearheaded the creation of the Aegis Digital Consortium, a group of nine leading health systems that will partner with Aegis to build and scale companies that solve their most pressing challenges. John was also the architect of Aegis’s $100 million partnership with Northwell Health, New York’s largest health system and private employer. To date, the partnership has resulted in the launch of four new companies – Ascertain (back office process automation), Caire (patient & provider platform), Optain (ophthalmic imaging), and Hume AI (emotion analytics). John sits on each company’s Board of Directors.

Before launching Aegis Ventures in 2020, John spent five years at APL Group, a global private equity firm and Aegis’s sister company, where he led an investment team focused on the development of new business lines on a global basis. Prior to APL, John worked in primary investments at John Laing Group and investment banking at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The son of a nurse, John has always had a passion for healthcare. He earned his BA from Harvard College, where he focused on the US business-government relationship, with an emphasis on health policy, and his MS in Global Affairs from Tsinghua University as a Schwarzman Scholar. John loves travel, sports, and the occasional round of golf. Now a New Yorker, John hails from Boston and still supports his favorite Beantown teams.
