From Alloy Partners's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Gestational diabetes affects roughly 1 in 10 pregnancies in the U.S. every year, and the number is rising — up 36% since 2016. The screening process hasn’t meaningfully changed in fifty years: an overnight fast, a sugary drink most women describe as disgusting, and one to three hours in a doctors office for blood draws. It's burdensome, inequitable, and it still misses up to a fifth of true cases.
We think that's a venture-building opportunity.
One Health Studio is recruiting an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) to incubate a new company — working title Sugar Mommas — built around continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and a standardized glucose challenge, delivered as an OB/GYN-ordered kit a woman completes at home. This isn't a research fellowship or an advisory seat. It's the real thing: pressure-test the thesis, validate it fast with real patients and payers, and build a company from the ground up.
The concept isn’t a blank page. We’ve done the early opportunity framing — a clinical evidence review across 20+ peer-reviewed studies, a validated two-track regulatory strategy from outside health-law counsel, an active partnership conversation with the leaders in CGM and Medicaid MCOs. What's missing is a builder to take it from a validated thesis to a launched company.
Co-investment from day one. One Health Studio co-invests alongside corporate partners and puts skin in the game — we only win when the company wins.
A venture-build team in your corner. Experienced operators who've helped co-create 35+ companies across healthcare, financial services, and beyond — not advisors on the sidelines, builders in the work.
A warm partner network, not a cold-outreach problem. Health systems, payers, and corporate partners — including an active Dexcom conversation and outreach to Eli Lilly's diabetes franchise — who can serve as design partners, validators, and early customers.
Speed to value. Studio-built companies reach Series A in roughly 12 months, versus 56 months for the average traditional startup.
A real co-founder search. If you need technical or clinical co-founders, One Health Studios actively recruits and matches talent to the build — you won't be posting on LinkedIn hoping for the best.
Who Thrives in This Role
You're energized by ambiguity, not paralyzed by it. You'd rather take action and adjust than deliberate indefinitely. You're humble enough to do the customer work yourself and confident enough to hold a strong point of view when the data supports it. You're not looking for a soft landing between jobs — you want to build something real, and you want the structural advantages to actually pull it off.
One Health Studio is a venture studio of Alloy Partners, co-creating advantaged startups at the intersection of human, animal, and planetary health. Alloy has co-created 35+ companies and built 8+ studios, helping launch some of the most interesting companies in healthcare, fintech, and beyond. We don't pick winners. We make them.
Alloy Partners is committed to building a diverse team and portfolio. We strongly encourage candidates with backgrounds underrepresented in venture — including women, people of color, and those with lived experience in the communities this company will serve.
