Through daily newsletters, editorial content, original research, expert events, and a vibrant Slack community, the HTN ecosystem helps 30,000+ healthcare leaders navigate what's ahead, not just by covering what's happening, but exploring what it means and what's next.
We believe that in a noisy world, those who think deeply — and are willing to share their thinking with others — are the ones shaping the future of healthcare. We're excited to gather an exclusive group of founders, innovators, policy leaders, and executives to think out loud together at Differential.
What to expect
Differential is an exclusive half-day event in New York City for approximately 100 of the most promising early-stage health tech founders and builders.
Across a series of intimate, closed-door conversations, founders and operators who've built and scaled companies like Oscar Health, Cityblock, and Maven Clinic will share honest, specific lessons on selling to incumbents, designing for policy and reimbursement shifts, competing when technical advantage is temporary, and raising capital in a market that's repricing risk.
The day wraps with a reception where founders compare notes, swap what's working, and find the people in the room solving the same problems they are.
