Alex Scharyj to Moderate Digital Health Funding Panel in Atlanta

Taft partner Alexander Scharyj will moderate a panel discussion on early-stage funding for digital health startups, hosted jointly by the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) Digital Health Society and TAG Corporate Development Society.

With digital health companies raising $14 billion in 2025—a 35% increase over the prior year—access to capital remains a defining challenge for emerging companies in the space. The panel will bring together founders and investors to share firsthand perspectives on how early-stage companies are navigating today’s funding environment, from bootstrapping and angel investment to accelerators, government grants, and strategic capital.

Panelists:

  • Amy Baxter, MD FAAP FACEP — Founder & CEO, Pain Care Labs
  • Connie G. Casteel — SBIR/STTR Connect Catalyst, ATDC
  • Lauren Oyster — Investor, Catalyst by Wellstar
  • Cassidy Wang — Co-Founder & CEO, Ethos Medical

Scharyj is a partner in Taft’s Atlanta office, where he advises clients on corporate and transactional matters. His moderation of this event reflects Taft’s ongoing engagement with the Atlanta innovation and life sciences communities.
