In March 2017, VCBeat launched the “VCBeat Membership” program, aiming to create an elite community for the future of healthcare. Leveraging VCBeat as a platform, it connects friends around the world who are committed to making healthcare better.
These global healthcare entrepreneurs, investors, executives of publicly listed healthcare companies, third-party industry chain professionals (in insurance, IT, informatization, hardware, finance, etc.), government officials, and researchers are not only the founding members of VCBeat but also serve as seeds connecting VCBeat to global healthcare resources.
I am deeply moved to have the opportunity, through the VCBeat platform, to engage with so many outstanding individuals, forging friendships and partnerships for our shared journey forward.
In 2017, we provided VCBeat members with over 40 in-depth research reports, distributed 259 tickets to popular healthcare forums valued at RMB 146,000, and facilitated partnership connections for more than 200 members...
We aim to save our members more time by leveraging research reports from VCBeat Research to help them develop a deeper understanding of the industry, and by facilitating connections and exchanges through conferences to enable substantive collaborations. In doing so, we strive to deliver more valuable content to our members and bridge the gap between the healthcare industry and its practitioners.
