Smarter decisions for tomorrow.

We are 1836 & Co. We help healthcare decision-makers see what others miss.

Our Approach

Clarity & Focus

Our insights don’t sit on shelves. They move markets, influence capital, and shape long-term positioning. We identify critical signals, translate them into actionable intelligence, and help healthcare leaders align today’s decisions with tomorrow’s opportunities —especially in the fast-evolving women’s health market.

Actionable

We don’t chase trends—we anticipate inflection points. Our clients turn to us when they need to:

  • Navigate disruption

  • Align executive teams

  • Make high-stakes decisions

  • Communicate strategy internally and externally

Our People

Founder Statement

Our Charge

I'm Sheena D. Franklin, the founder of 1836 & Co. My background spans health policy, corporate innovation, women’s health, and data strategy. I’ve founded a health-tech company, and advised Fortune 50 companies, federal agencies, startups, and global nonprofits on how to lead through complexity.

1836 & Co. is the culmination of that work—a firm designed to meet executive leaders where they are, and give them the insight, structure, and strategic foresight to move forward with clarity.
