Flourish Health delivers intensive in-home mental health care for children and young adults through psychiatrist-led Care Pods composed of a child and adolescent psychiatrist, a licensed therapist, a patient guide, and a family guide. The company built a proprietary technology platform that integrates patient touchpoints, EMR and prescribing capabilities, workflow automation, team collaboration, and AI to support engagement and coordination while clinicians make clinical decisions. Flourish specializes in three clinical populations: children with externalizing behaviors, young people with multiple suicide attempts or suicide-related hospitalizations, and patients with complex needs and family situations often turned away by other clinics. Studies run with multiple major health plans report large reductions in hospitalization (70–96%), residential treatment (69–90%), and sustained decreases in higher levels of care post-discharge (80–95%). Flourish commits to beginning care within one week of referral, reports 92% month-over-month retention during its 12-month programs, and says those programs cost less than one month of inpatient treatment.

Pepper Bio is a Boston-based drug discovery startup that calls itself the 'world’s first transomics company,' combining DNA, RNA, proteomic and phosphoproteomic data to improve target identification and drug development. The company emphasizes a connected, real-time 'routing context of activity' rather than disconnected multi-omics, likening its approach to Google Maps. Pepper Bio works with pharmaceutical partners and academic labs—including a collaboration with Stanford’s Felsher Lab—to identify and validate therapeutic targets, and its internal pipeline is focused on oncology while also supporting inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease work. CEO Jon Hu and CSO Samantha Dale Strasser highlight that transomics data can improve AI-driven analysis by providing richer inputs. The company is pursuing repurposed assets and is negotiating acquisitions or options to acquire assets for its pipeline. Pepper Bio raised a $6.5 million seed round led by NFX to advance both partnerships and its internal pipeline and to position the company for a subsequent funding round once pilots convert into longer-term partnerships.
