In this episode of Friends of Project Healthcare…
John Bass, Founder and CEO of Hashed Health, discusses the transition from the early days at Hashed – educating and advising the healthcare community around the benefits of distributed ledger technology – to the current state of leading healthcare venture studio at the intersection of healthcare and blockchain.
Hashed Health is a venture studio located in Nashville, TN with seven concepts in formation – from ideation to successful launch.
In this episode, John discusses:
- The successful transformation of a company providing education and advisory services focused on blockchain and distributed ledger use cases
- The necessary ingredients of a collaborative Hashed Health venture – trust, transparency, and incentive alignment
- The importance of the co-founder role and the emphasis of building management teams of successful companies
- Spinning out ProCredEx as a launched company and shifting gears, after years of educating the industry, to forming a successful venture studio
- Peer Supply, a company recently launched which is a data exchange for curated supply chain data, enabling providers, suppliers, and others to acquire valuable product and vendor information that improve operations, strategy and resiliency
- SubPop and bramble – two additional companies moving through the Hashed Health studio process
John also discusses the importance of the Nashville healthcare ecosystem – consisting of decades of experienced professionals who understand healthcare at a deep, personal level.
