When we founded Inlightened, we set out to fix what was broken with healthcare innovation. To over-simplify, this meant transforming collaboration and insights with diversity, quality, and transparency. We prioritized these differentiators in building Inlightened’s technical platform. And when we launched in 2020, those differentiators certainly did set us apart from other expert networks, market research firms, and consultancies in the space. This past year, in particular, has been exceptional.
Connections made through Inlightened have led to new jobs. Skills cultivated have fostered unrealized potential. Successful collaborations have uncovered opportunities, set strategies, justified investments, launched products, grown revenue, and improved access and care.
The size of Inlightened’s internal team has continued to double, year after year.
We launched sessions, by and for expert members and advisors of Inlightened. Topics covered include mental health at work, optimizing your healthspan, and imposter syndrome.
Client companies — from stealth-mode startups to global life science organizations and leading digital health brands — have engaged Inlightened experts to navigate what’s next.
And we even learned some lessons — like crowdfunding — the hard way.

Now more than ever before, Inlightened is positioned to transform healthcare innovation. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.
