Gore Range Capital is the only venture capital firm focused exclusively on innovation in the skin health and aging space, according to a press release.
Among other responsibilities, Hashemi will actively source and evaluate potential investments and will provide medical, dermatologic, and strategic expertise to drive growth of existing portfolio companies. In addition, he will guide and support the quarterly meeting of Gore’s industry advisory board.
"I am incredibly excited to be joining the Gore Range Capital team,” Hashemi said. “I have a strong interest in innovation within skin health specifically, and healthcare more broadly, and know that with Gore Range I will have the opportunity to work with an extensive network of leaders driving the future of the field."
Hashemi is completing his final year of dermatology residency at Harvard Medical School, having completed internship training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
He holds a medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania — where he received the highest possible class ranking — an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, a post-baccalaureate certificate from Johns Hopkins University, and an undergraduate degree in economics Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Chicago.
Before pursuing a career in medicine, he served as an engagement manager in management consulting, and subsequently director of corporate strategy at a Fortune 500 entertainment company.
Hashemi has published numerous articles in such influential dermatology journals as JAMA Dermatology, JAAD and Dermatologic Surgery, and has given multiple lectures on surgical, medical and cosmetic dermatology. His areas of interest include surgical and procedural dermatology, oncodermatology and cutaneous oncology, clinical trials, and innovation within dermatology and medicine.
