Cleveland Clinic and Khosla Ventures have joined forces to help speed up the creation and use of new healthcare technologies. This partnership combines Cleveland Clinic’s strong experience with clinical research and patient care with Khosla Ventures’ knowledge in investing in groundbreaking technologies. The main idea is to help innovative startups by giving them access to real-world clinical settings where they can test their ideas, get feedback, and make improvements. This helps move new ideas from early stages to real use in healthcare more quickly than usual.

Through this partnership, companies that Khosla Ventures has invested in will be able to work directly with doctors and healthcare professionals at Cleveland Clinic. These startups can test their products, learn from real clinical experiences, and make changes based on what they learn. Both organizations believe this approach can help bring new tools to market faster, especially those that could improve how care is delivered and the health outcomes for patients.
Geoff Vince, PhD, who leads Cleveland Clinic Innovations, said the goal is to help develop new technologies that really help patients. He explained that by combining Cleveland Clinic’s clinical expertise with Khosla Ventures’ focus on next-generation innovations, they can make progress faster and bring new ideas to life in ways that are useful for both healthcare providers and patients.

The partnership has already resulted in several agreements between Cleveland Clinic and Khosla-backed companies. More discussions are happening about future opportunities, such as working together on new projects, making shared investments, and creating new businesses. One example is a joint effort to start a new company where Khosla Ventures will focus on the technical side and hiring, while Cleveland Clinic will handle the clinical testing and help grow the solution across its network.
The collaboration will initially focus on four key areas of healthcare that are changing rapidly. These areas include using artificial intelligence to improve diagnosis and tailor care, creating new treatments and diagnostic tools for conditions like cancer and heart disease, developing new care models such as home-based services and remote consultations, and designing care strategies that work well with Medicare, Medicaid, and dual-eligible programs. Cleveland Clinic Innovations, which is responsible for taking ideas from research to the market, will play a central role in this partnership. Since it was started in 2000, the group has helped launch over 100 startups and has a lot of experience in protecting inventions, licensing technology, and supporting new businesses. By working together, Cleveland Clinic and Khosla Ventures aim to connect new ideas with everyday medical practice. Their ultimate goal is to bring advanced healthcare solutions to patients more quickly and widely, making a real difference in how care is provided.
