Last week, we shared our updated strategy of focusing on vertical venture studios. Today, we’re officially launching our first vertical: DentalTech.
Highline Beta DentalTech is a venture studio focused on improving access to care and dental clinic innovation. Our primary customer is dental clinics, which we’re engaging with actively to identify pain points and opportunities.
We’re partnering with Dr. John Maggirias, Founder & CEO of Dentacloud. He’s a serial entrepreneur, innovator, investor and dentist. As a Venture Partner, Dr. John will be very close to the work we do, helping us grow our network into the dental ecosystem, validate opportunities and build investor relationships.
We’ve also added a number of great advisors, including Marie Eve Prevost, a serial entrepreneur and investor with experience in the dental space and Firas Abu Saleh, CEO of Prep Doctors.
Our goal is to build a concentrated portfolio of up to 10 startups, leveraging an established DentalTech ecosystem to accelerate portfolio success.
DentalForce has quickly established itself as one of the top Canadian marketplaces for connecting dental practices and dental professionals for temporary (and full-time) staffing. Dental practices lose ~11% of their revenue annually due to a lack of staff (i.e. when a hygienist can’t make a shift). Staffing is one of the top problems in the dental industry. DentalForce helps practices find the right professionals at the right time.
DentalForce is live and in-market with significant traction. We also recently recruited a CEO for the company, Aris Economopoulos, who has a decade of venture-backed startup experience in B2B software and marketplaces. Aris has hit the ground running to put DentalForce on a path to significant scale in the near future. Highline Beta continues to support DentalForce through the venture studio and is co-leading its $1M pre-seed round that’s quickly getting filled.
Highline Beta’s vertical venture studio strategy is intended to create focus and leverage, ultimately leading to the ongoing building and funding of great companies. We’re excited about our first vertical and growing our DentalTech portfolio.
