The short answer
Our database lists 279 startup investors in Texas focused on healthcare & digital health — 17% of the 1,654 startup investors we list in the state. Most are in Austin (152), Houston (49), Dallas (46). (Zalarma investor database, as of 2026-11-01.)
What these investors look for
- Lead with the regulatory path. Healthcare investors want to see that you know whether you are a device, software as a medical device, a service, or a lab test, and what clearance (if any) you need before revenue.
- Name your buyer precisely: health system, payer, employer, provider group or patient. The sale cycle you describe tells an investor how much runway you really need.
- Clinical advisors and pilot sites count as traction at pre-seed. A signed pilot letter from a regional hospital often matters more than a famous name on the cap table.

About this data
Counts are records in the Zalarma investor database, as of 2026-11-01: angels, venture firms and their partners, micro-VCs, family offices, corporate VCs and accelerators that list startup investing. One investor can appear in several stage or sector rows. Stage, sector and check size come from what each record lists, so not every record has every field. Counts under 10 are not shown. Firm names are listed; we do not publish personal contact details on this site. Read how we build and check the data.
