Early cheques and advisory seats

Operator money into healthtech and the B2B software around it, mostly at pre-seed and seed.

What I bring beyond the cheque is the buyer’s side of the table. I know how a hospital actually evaluates software, who signs, what kills a pilot in month four, and which claims a medical director will laugh at. That tends to be worth more early than the money is.

I invest in founders I have spent real time with, so a mentorship conversation is usually the first step rather than a pitch deck.

Before you write in

Who is Prassant Kumar?
Prassant Kumar is a healthcare technology leader based in Mumbai, India. He is the founder of Caresoft Systems Private Limited, a bootstrapped hospital software company whose systems run in more than 1,000 hospitals across 12 or more countries. He works as a keynote speaker, consultant, mentor to healthtech founders and angel investor, and writes on Indian healthcare technology.
What does Prassant Kumar speak about?
His talks cover hospital digital transformation, applied artificial intelligence in clinical settings, health data interoperability and ABDM, healthcare access outside metro India, and building a software business without external funding. Sessions are written for the specific audience rather than delivered from a fixed deck.
How do I invite Prassant Kumar to speak at my event?
Send the event date, city, audience profile and session format through the contact form on this site. Speaking enquiries are answered within one working day, and a briefing call is scheduled before anything is confirmed.
What kind of consulting work does he take on?
Independent hospital digital strategy and HIS selection, applied AI readiness, healthtech product and go-to-market advisory, and interoperability or compliance readiness including ABDM. Engagements typically run four to eight weeks, or as a monthly retainer.
Does he invest in healthcare startups?
Yes. He writes early angel cheques into healthtech and adjacent B2B software, usually at pre-seed and seed stage, with a focus on India and emerging markets. He also takes advisory and board-observer roles where hospital-side credibility is the thing the company is missing.
Where is he based and does he travel?
He is based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, and travels for engagements across India, the Gulf, East and Southern Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Virtual sessions are available for events elsewhere.
Is there a fee for mentorship?
Paid founder mentorship runs on a six-month minimum. A small number of unpaid slots are reserved each quarter for pre-revenue founders working on healthcare access, rural care or public health, with priority to founders outside the metro cities.
