Investment ThesisThe future looks bright
M13 has been an early backer of DTC businesses. Our investment approach today is focused on the enabling technologies that power the future of work, health, commerce, and money.

The digital health market is only getting started, and it will grow 10x in scale and be worth over half a trillion dollars over the next five years.
