LEADING VOICES IN PRIVATE CAPITAL


Join us on February 19th for The Frances Ann Capital Insights Forum

As private markets evolve at record pace, discerning investors are seeking forward looking insights and strategic access to emerging opportunities.


Healthcare innovation often fails not because of technology, but because it violates entrenched assumptions about access, liability, and control. Dr. Bezerra’s story begins with a personal collision between medical necessity and institutional protocol and extends into a re-imagining of how life-saving care can be accessed at scale. Gary Pacquin will share how questioning the ontology of medical supply chains led to a platform that disrupted entrenched purchasing systems and improved cost, speed, and transparency. Kent Dicks brings a long-range view shaped by decades of invention, regulatory engagement, and service to the veteran community demonstrating how ontology must hold across technology, policy, and lived human outcomes. Together, these conversations explore how execution integrity in healthcare depends on seeing patients, systems, and incentives clearly and acting accordingly.


Whether you are an experienced LP, wealth manager, or sophisticated investor, this event provides a curated lens into the trends that will define capital deployment in the years ahead.

The forum is hosted by Romy Frances Kochan and Natalie Ann Hazen, General Partners at Frances Ann Capital. Their Southwest Florida funds use a unique Customer Acquisition Strategy to identify high-potential ventures and deliver measurable impact to investors and the region.

Join us for an afternoon of insights, thoughtful conversations, and light refreshments.

Due to the intimate nature of the venue, seating is limited! Secure your spot today.
