Psychiatrist Physician Advisor to Healthcare Venture Capital Fund

Psychiatrist Physician Advisor to Healthcare Venture Capital Fund

Healthcare Shares is a healthcare venture capital fund investing broadly in social‑impact healthcare startups. We are forming a cohort of Psychiatrist Advisors within our multidisciplinary clinical network to ensure that investment decisions reflect real‑world behavioral health realities, safety standards, care‑coordination challenges, and the long‑term clinical needs of patients with complex mental health conditions.

Role Overview

Psychiatrist Advisors will support the investment diligence process by evaluating startups through the lens of psychiatric safety, evidence‑based treatment pathways, psychopharmacology oversight, multimorbidity management, suicide‑risk safeguards, virtual‑care feasibility, and longitudinal therapeutic continuity. While our investment scope is broad, psychiatry provides essential perspective on care quality, neurobiologic treatment logic, therapeutic alliance, crisis response protocols, medication‑monitoring fidelity, and integration with primary care and specialty networks.

Core Responsibilities

• Conduct clinical review of digital behavioral health platforms, virtual psychiatry models, addiction treatment solutions, suicide‑prevention technology, care navigation tools, and AI‑supported diagnostics.
• Evaluate safety claims, risk‑stratification approaches, crisis escalation pathways, clinical supervision structures, and medication‑management integrity.
• Support diligence by assessing scalability, therapeutic adherence models, retention metrics, wait‑time reduction strategies, and health‑equity implications in behavioral care.
• Advise portfolio companies on psychiatric prescribing protocols, screening standards, trauma‑informed care design, virtual‑group logistics, and comorbidity management (depression, anxiety, SUD, bipolar, ADHD).
• Collaborate with primary care, neurology, emergency medicine, psychology, and social‑work advisors to review patient‑safety safeguards and cross‑specialty coordination.
• Track emerging trends in digital therapy, tele‑psychiatry, AI risk‑detection tools, medication tracking, remote symptom analytics, and crisis‑response innovation.

Ideal Qualifications

• Board‑certified Psychiatrist with experience in outpatient psychiatry, inpatient units, emergency psych, addiction medicine, child/adolescent psychiatry, or community mental health.
• Familiarity with psychopharmacology guidelines, controlled‑substance monitoring, suicide‑risk mitigation, and continuity‑of‑care models.
• Experience with digital behavioral health platforms, virtual group therapy, predictive analytics, medication‑adherence tech, or tele‑psychiatry infrastructure (preferred but not required).
• Ability to translate psychiatric workflow realities into investment evaluation, safety review, reimbursement logic, and implementation feasibility.
• Commitment to innovation, equity, and scalable mental‑health access.
