Strategic Healthcare Advisory Services
Star View Advisors partners with leaders who believe that American healthcare can and must deliver better outcomes at sustainable costs. We work with those who understand that this transformation requires both entrepreneurial innovation and principled stewardship.
What We Do
Star View Advisors champions market-driven solutions to America's healthcare challenges. We connect principled leaders across the healthcare ecosystem, including providers, payers, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to advance reforms that reduce costs, improve outcomes, and unleash innovation.
We guide promising health-tech ventures toward sustainable growth while helping established institutions navigate regulatory complexity and embrace transformative technologies. Our work centers on a fundamental belief: that competitive markets, informed by rigorous analysis and guided by sound policy, deliver superior healthcare value.
Our Mission and Philosophy
Healthcare transformation requires more than good intentions. It demands intellectual honesty, market discipline, and principled leadership. Star View Advisors exists to bridge the gap between innovative solutions and institutional adoption, ensuring that
breakthrough technologies reach patients through sustainable, market-tested pathways.
We champion policies that reward value creation over volume, transparency over opacity, and patient outcomes over bureaucratic process. By aligning incentives across stakeholders, from venture-backed startups to major health systems, we help build a healthcare ecosystem that serves patients while respecting fiscal realities.
Our approach reflects core principles: that competition drives excellence, that innovation
flourishes under clear regulatory frameworks, and that lasting reform emerges from collaboration among principled leaders who understand both market dynamics and policy implications.
Our Approach
Sound healthcare policy begins with rigorous analysis and ends with practical implementation. We believe that sustainable reform requires:
Market Intelligence:
Deep understanding of regulatory landscapes, competitive dynamics, and emerging technologies that will reshape healthcare delivery and financing.
Strategic Alignment:
Bringing together stakeholders whose interests may diverge but whose success depends on shared solutions, by connecting entrepreneurs with institutional partners who can scale their innovations responsibly.
Policy Leadership:
Engaging with policymakers and thought leaders to shape frameworks that encourage innovation while protecting patients and taxpayers from waste and inefficiency.
Principled Execution:
Moving beyond analysis to action, facilitating partnerships that create measurable value and advance the broader cause of healthcare reform.
In essence, we identify where good policy meets good business and ensure the right leaders are positioned to capitalize on those opportunities.

Transforming Healthcare Reimbursement Integrity Through Strategic Alignment
The Challenge:
Our Strategic Approach:
The Results:
A promising health tech startup had developed AI-powered technology
that could revolutionize how providers manage healthcare and Medicaid claims by automating submissions, eliminating errors, and securitizing healthcare receivables. Yet despite the clear value proposition, they struggled to gain simultaneous traction with
both health systems and state governments, two constituencies whose buy-in was essential for market success.
Rather than pursuing traditional sales channels that would require separate campaigns for each stakeholder group, we orchestrated a coordinated
engagement strategy. We positioned the solution simultaneously with key state legislative leaders and major healthcare association executives, creating a unified message that resonated across multiple decision-making layers. This triangulated
approach ensured that the innovation's benefits were communicated consistently to
health system leadership, state procurement officials, and association boards, all hearing complementary messages about fiscal responsibility and operational efficiency.
The company achieved rapid access to high-level decision makers across
both sectors, establishing an efficient sales frontier that aligned their mission-critical technology with political priorities and provider needs. By connecting policy objectives
with operational realities, we helped transform a complex multi- stakeholder challenge into a streamlined path to market adoption.
Streamlining Government Procurement for Medicaid Innovation
The Challenge:
Our Strategic Approach:
The Results:
A technology company had developed a solution that could
dramatically reduce Medicaid program waste by preventing ineligible individuals from
accessing benefits, a capability with obvious appeal to fiscally conscious state governments. However, the company faced the notorious complexity of state-level procurement processes, where even valuable innovations can become mired in
bureaucratic inefficiency for months or years.
We bypassed traditional procurement gatekeepers by positioning the company directly with state political leadership and agency heads who control eligibility policy. Rather than navigating layers of administrative process, we aligned the technology's fiscal impact with state budget priorities, ensuring the message reached decision makers who understood both the policy implications and the bottom-line benefits.
This direct-access strategy eliminated unnecessary procedural delays,
enabling the company to engage the right decision makers immediately. By connecting innovative technology with fiscal stewardship priorities, we created a straightforward path to state-level adoption that respected both political realities and procurement efficiency.
Navigating Regulatory Uncertainty Through Strategic Diversification
The Challenge:
Our Strategic Approach:
The Results:
A digital health application designed to help caregivers manage
complex personal health information faced a classic innovation dilemma: while their solution addressed a genuine market need, regulatory frameworks around healthcare
interoperability were evolving too slowly to support rapid health system integration. The company needed market traction while waiting for regulatory clarity.
We developed a multi-pathway market strategy that reduced regulatory dependency. Beginning with direct-to-consumer adoption and expanding into employer-sponsored benefits, we leveraged our network of venture capital firms and portfolio companies to facilitate strategic partnerships that could provide immediate scale. We also supported the company's fundraising efforts to strengthen their
competitive position during the regulatory transition period.
The company successfully diversified beyond health system integration,
establishing partnership opportunities that expanded their market reach and revenue potential. This strategic flexibility positioned them to capitalize on regulatory developments while building sustainable market presence through alternative channels, a classic example of how principled entrepreneurship navigates uncertainty.
Advancing Value-Based Care Through Data-Driven Population
Management
The Challenge:
Our Strategic Approach:
The Results:
Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) and other value-based care
providers face relentless pressure to manage contracted populations more effectively, yet traditional analytics often fail to provide the comprehensive view necessary for
proactive intervention. This is particularly challenging when addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), where early identification and intervention can prevent costly downstream complications.
We connected a breakthrough analytics company whose
platform delivers unprecedented visibility into community health and SDOH factors with the strategic networks they needed to scale effectively. The company's solution enables care teams to anticipate health issues and intervene before conditions escalate, but reaching ACO leadership required navigating complex consulting relationships and
partnership opportunities. We facilitated introductions with specialized consultants in the value-based care space and identified complementary service providers whose offerings could create integrated solutions.
Our approach fine-tuned the company’s focus to target the most
promising relationships, with the goal of putting demonstration projects in place. This set the stage for the platform to be recognized as essential infrastructure for improving outcomes while reducing costs, exactly the kind of innovation that makes value-based
care arrangements financially sustainable.
