Today: Satchel | ShoreCP | Angels | TaxCred | Pharos | Savvy |
CareHarmony | BlendTopia | Law | Noro | Motivo | Altus |


SATCHEL HEALTH, a post-acute data-first telemedicine play, is being wound-down and/or sold, several reliable sources confirmed in general terms. The startup has recently been led by Lanson Hyde, who succeeded founder Ryan Macy in that role. NueCura led an Angel round in 2016, and plans had been laid for a sizeable Series A in 2017, though it's not clear whether that effort proceeded. Records indicate Satchel was a pivot for Macy from an earlier Octovis startup strategy with Google Glass and patient/EMR data at its core. That earlier iteration debuted in the former Jumpstart Foundry (JSF) accelerator program of 2014.
