Join Super Bowl champion and investor Doug Baldwin and Opticyte CEO Lori Arakaki for a powerful conversation on health equity and innovation. After retiring from the NFL, Doug founded Vault89, a Seattle-based social impact VC firm committed to transforming historically exclusive systems through empathetic investment—and their latest portfolio company, Opticyte, is taking on one of healthcare’s most persistent blind spots: pulse oximetry.
Standard oxygen monitors fail millions of patients due to inaccurate readings in people with darker skin tones. Opticyte’s VitalO₂ technology aims to fix that—and Vault89 is backing their mission. Moderated by Gracie and Emmy Award-winning journalist Angela Poe Russell, this webinar will explore the crisis in pulse oximetry, what inspired Doug to invest in equitable healthcare solutions, and how innovation can move the needle on health equity.

Time: 10:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM EDT
Speakers:
- Doug Baldwin, Founder of Vault89 and Opticyte investor
