Health & Biotech
Medtech, biotech and the business of health.
Health and biotech combine huge potential impact with regulation, clinical risk and long timelines. The business model questions are as hard as the science — who pays, how you get approved, and how you reach patients and clinicians.
Medtech and biotech founders and investors discuss building in health: navigating regulation, the commercial realities, and turning research into something that reaches people.
“Don't try to cost-optimise before you have product-market fit; you can always solve cost and pricing later.”
