Los Angeles, CA, October 1st, 2024 — Private data platform Blind Insight announced today that it was selected as a spoke for the Investor Catalyst Hub, a regional hub of ARPANET-H, a nationwide health innovation network launched by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).

Based in the Greater Boston area and managed by VentureWell, the Investor Catalyst Hub seeks to accelerate the commercialization of groundbreaking and accessible biomedical solutions.

“Blind Insight is thrilled to be a Spoke in the ARPA-H Investor Catalyst Hub. We founded Blind Insight to solve some of the biggest challenges facing healthcare today. Healthcare needs data. Mobilizing data for research, innovation, and operational efficiency will lead to lower costs and improved outcomes for millions. We hope our participation in the ecosystem can help vital healthcare initiatives use, share, and obtain critical, potentially life-saving data in secure and responsible ways.” - Jackie Peters, Founder & CEO

Blind Insight joins a dynamic nationwide network of organizations aligned to ARPA-H’s overarching mission to improve health outcomes through the following research focus areas: health science futures, proactive health, scalable solutions, and resilient systems. Investor Catalyst Hub spokes represent a broad spectrum of expertise, geographic diversity, and community perspectives.

“Our spoke network embodies a rich and representative range of perspectives and expertise,” said Mark Marino, Vice President of Growth Strategy and Development for VentureWell and Project Director for the Investor Catalyst Hub. “Our spokes comprise a diverse network that will be instrumental in ensuring that equitable health solutions reach communities across every state and tribal nation.”

As an Investor Catalyst Hub spoke, Blind Insight gains access to potential funding and flexible contracting for faster award execution compared to traditional government contracts. Spoke membership also offers opportunities to provide input on ARPA-H challenge areas and priorities, along with access to valuable networking opportunities and a robust resource library.
