ABOUT JOSHUA HENDERSON
I\'m on a mission to accelerate the development of new treatments to rare diseases and to bring diversity to the venture world. I invest my time and energy building and supporting companies addressing underserved patient populations and underrepresented founders:I am the founder of Cureious (cureious.ai) where I work with a small number of early-stage healthcare innovators to accelerate commercial traction in biopharma and rare disease. Instead of a traditional consulting approach, I partner through fractional business development, established industry relationships, and AI-powered workflows.I am the Special Projects Lead and former Head of Rare Diseases at Pulse Infoframe (pulseinfoframe.com) where I have partnered with patient advocacy groups and biopharma companies globally to generate high quality, regulatory-grade real-world data across rare kidney, neurological, oncology, and sleep disorders.I am a co-founder of the NW Rare Disease Coalition (nwrare.org), a group that supports the Pacific Northwest’s rare disease community through programming, education, and by articulating a bipartisan policy platform to inform and engage legislators.I am an angel investor and a co-founder and Managing Partner of StageNext Fund (stagenext.vc), which invests in seasoned women entrepreneurs and builds on over 12 years I spent building venture catalyst Springboard Enterprises (sb.co) and its global network of entrepreneurs, investors, and biopharma executives that support women-led healthcare and life science companies.My roots in innovation are at Georgetown, where I founded and chaired a Business Plan Competition (now Hoya Challenge) and helped spark an entrepreneurial movement across the University.
