Know what’s moving healthtech—and why it matters.
Independent reporting and sharp analysis from Christina Farr and other healthcare insiders.
Christina Farr
Hi, I’m Chrissy.
I’ve spent much of my career trying to understand how the business of healthcare actually works. I started as a journalist covering healthtech and policy, and now invest in early-stage healthcare companies as a General Partner at Scrub Capital. Second Opinion is where I bring those worlds together, sharing reporting, analysis, and perspective on the deals, strategies, and policy decisions shaping the industry. Before moving into venture, I covered healthcare for CNBC and reported for Fast Company and Reuters. I’ve also spent time at OMERS Ventures and now serve as a national advisor at Manatt.
Healthcare is complicated, fascinating, and constantly changing. I started Second Opinion to make sense of it alongside a community of people who care about where the industry is heading.
