Despierta Ventures

Miami, Florida, United States · Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Despierta Ventures is a healthcare-focused investment and venture-building platform operating in Miami and Boston. Its current primary site names co-founders and managing partners Christopher Lee, Christian Seale and Justin Dangel, with additional clinical, operating, technical and support affiliates. Its legal operator is DESPIERTA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company incorporated in 2022 and independently identified by its SEC record through all three founders. The brand’s own timeline dates its founding to 2021; brand launch and legal incorporation are distinct. Its strategy covers value-based care, science-backed consumer products and technology-enabled healthcare, including AI medical-record summarisation at Fourier Health. Its current company cards identify Fourier Health, Rise Health/Primor, Mangrove Health and Akita Biosciences. The separate previous-investment section and aggregate portfolio statistics include founders’ investments before Despierta and are not attributed wholesale to this manager. The public roster includes a combined advisors/select limited partners section that does not disclose each named individual’s exact capacity or a cash commitment. Generic repeated portraits and lorem-ipsum biographies are excluded. No named LP fund or fund closing is established. Its January 2025 SEC notice reports corporate equity securities sold, classifies the issuer as Other Health Care rather than a pooled investment fund, and must not be treated as an LP fund raise. Recipient clinical or product descriptions are company claims, not approval or medical-effectiveness determinations.
