Public description
About the program
Zaffre Investments is the strategic investment arm created in 2014 by the Board of Directors of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. It invests in new products, services and technologies that improve how healthcare is delivered and received, across value-based support, consumer solutions and health information technology. Zaffre positions itself as a strategic partner rather than a passive financial investor, contributing business support and industry connections, and it works alongside entrepreneurs, accelerators and other healthcare investors. It is a corporate venture vehicle rather than a cohort accelerator.
