Regulatory Risk: Changes to pharmacy scope of practice, reimbursement models, or federal healthcare policy could impact portfolio company viability 2. Market Consolidation Risk: Continued consolidation of independent pharmacies could reduce addressable market for B2B solutions 3. Technology Integration Risk: Legacy pharmacy systems and resistance to change could slow adoption of new infrastructure 4. Competition Risk: Large healthcare IT vendors (Epic, Cerner, Surescripts) entering pharmacy infrastructure space 5. Execution Risk: First-time fund manager without prior institutional fund track record MITIGATION STRATEGIES 1.

Regulatory Expertise: Deep involvement in standards organizations and policy development provides advance warning and adaptation capability 4. Founder Selection: Rigorous screening for domain expertise, execution capability, and market timing 5.
