Less than three years after the $4B sale of Rally Health as its Founder and CEO, @grantverstandig founded @RedCellPartners with the goal of building technology-led companies that would make a lasting impact on U.S. healthcare, cyber, and national security. Just over five years later, we've built a portfolio of nearly 20 companies – 13 from the ground up – and raised nearly $500M across the firm and our incubations. At the center of it all, Grant continues to guide our companies through their many stages of growth, from launching Trase's next-gen AI infrastructure to recently raising $30M for Claros's data center power management platform. Go behind-the-scenes with @WBJonline's Sara Gilgore to get a glimpse at Red Cell's operations, Grant's career, and our collective commitment to creating a healthier and safer world for the next generation: bizj.us/1qpufc #RedCellPartners #vc #incubator #healthtech #defensetech #GrantVerstandig

Life-changing medications like GLP-1s aren’t reaching the people who could most benefit from them—not because of scarcity, but because of a benefits model built for a different era. Opaque fees, rebate-driven incentives, and layers of middlemen have left everyday working Americans frustrated with a system that promises access but consistently fails to deliver it. Having witnessed this dysfunction firsthand at Rally Health, Grant Verstandig, Chip Nash, and Naimish Patel built Crux, a no-fee benefits platform that contracts directly with pharmaceutical manufacturers, passing their pricing through to employers at cost.
