    Stephanie Silverman

    CEO & FOUNDER
    Solstice

    Stephanie Silverman spent over a decade investing and advising healthcare companies at Rock Health and Goldman Sachs before launching her own boutique digital health consulting and advisory firm - Solstice. Today, Solstice is proud to serve a select group of venture-backed startups and international tech and healthcare enterprises, offering each bespoke access to Stephanie's deep understanding of the complexities - and shortcuts - navigating the U.S. digital health healthcare ecosystem.

     

    As Founder & CEO of Solstice, Stephanie leverages the tactical expertise honed earlier in her career with her belief in the value of an informed, thoughtful approach to network development. The strength of Solstice's platform is built on the quality of services – helping venture-backed digital health startups position themselves expertly in the marketplace and advising enterprise leaders navigate a crowded landscape with ease. This dual-sided approach enables Solstice to curate a deep network of industry connections, each of whom benefit from the strength of the broader community. Stephanie authors industry analysis and hosts invitational events for this community, helping solidify connections and form new bonds.

     

    Stephanie is the author of the long-form thought piece "The Change" We Need in Midlife Women's Health, a culmination of 4 years of industry research and relationship building with founders, investors and industry thought leaders. The deep dive is a CTA for increased innovation and investment in healthcare for women in midlife, covering everything from the misunderstood financial burden of hot flashes to the startup models best suited to scale.
