Reference excerpt

H1 Inc. is a global healthcare data technology company founded in 2017, and headquartered in New York City. The company's database is used by healthcare and pharmaceutical companies and related organizations to identify healthcare professionals to partner with on research in order to accelerate development of drugs and other treatments. The company has over 300 employees worldwide and about 200 clients including pharmaceutical companies Novartis and AstraZeneca as of November 2021.

History The company was founded by Ariel Katz and Ian Sax in November 2017 as H1 Insights. The company started by helping biotech and pharma companies connect with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to advance research, drug development, and other treatments. According to Katz, the company is named for "the statistical representation of a true hypothesis", often expressed as H1, as opposed to a null hypothesis, expressed as H0. In 2018, the company launched its first market offering, Da Vinci, and subsequently participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2020 batch. In August 2021, H1 acquired Portland, Oregon startup Carevoyance. By November 2021, H1 had over 100 clients including Novartis and AstraZeneca and over 400 employees worldwide. In February 2022, H1 acquired London-based Faculty Opinions, a discovery tool for finding relevant published medical research and assessing its quality. Subject matter experts on the platform recommend and share their opinion on the top 1% of the biomedical literature indexed in PubMed. Faculty Opinions currently has over 190,000 individual recommended articles from over 4,000 journals.

Products H1's primary product is its database which includes 160 million peer-reviewed publications, 350,000 clinical trials, 8 billion medical claims, as well as related data points. Data sources include public databases and contributions by its clients and healthcare providers. Clients include pharmaceutical, biotech, financial, data and healthcare organizations. A companion product, H1 Explorer, was introduced in 2021 allowing healthcare professionals to manage their own profiles in the H1 network. Its first market offering, Da Vinci, launched in 2018 and is intended to help pharma companies accelerate the market research phase of drug development. H1's Trial Landscape product was introduced in September 2021 to help pharmaceutical companies identify the right sites and physician investigators for a trial.

Funding H1 has raised more than $200M in funding in three rounds:

Series C: $100 million led by Altimeter Capital in November 2021, and $33 million in an extension round led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Menlo Ventures, Transformation Capital and Novartis Pharma AG in 2022. Series B: $58 million co-led by IVP and Menlo Ventures in December 2020 Series A: $12.9 million led by Menlo Ventures in April 2020 Other investors include Joe Montana, Novartis, Baron Davis, Y Combinator, and Underscore VC.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with H1 Inc.

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what H1 Inc. claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to H1 Inc. before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about H1 Inc. ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of H1 Inc.

In research: H1 Inc. appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses H1 Inc. in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: H1 Inc. is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics American companies established in 2017, Drug discovery companies, Health care companies based in New York (state), so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for H1 Inc. outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
