No, you shouldn't teach, but Apple doesn't necessarily sound like the right fit either. The issue with larger companies is mainly using the interview as an efficient screening mech…

Would love to hear some of your thoughts, especially since engagement tends to be an issue we've seen with patient-facing apps after a period of a few months. We're exploring what …

I can probably echo some similar thoughts that we heard when we talked with providers. I'm not tashfeens nor do I work for his company, but I run Varsa Health, a data analytics com…

This is great to hear. We're in a similar position, working on a startup for mental health providers. We spent a solid three months focused on user experience above all else and in…

Fun fact: MUMPS predates C as a programming language. Sad that a company like that continues to do as well as it does, but then again it sells to admins, not doctors.

From one healthcare entrepreneur to another, congrats. It's difficult to clear that hurdle, especially with the two-sided approach of doctors and patients. What's been your biggest…

We still have a lot of those companies here, the R&D has moved to the coasts though.

As the son of a mother who gave up her full-time (and lucrative) career to raise her kids, I applaud you for having the courage to speak out on this. Witnessing how cousins of mine…

I just finished grad school and undergrad right before that (I lumped them together in 4 years; not to brag, this matters for what I'm about to say). I spent most of undergrad temp…

One can hope, and I would sincerely like to think that new markets within manufacturing or other "old" industries are going to emerge. Off-shoring isn't the cheap solution it once …

I'm curious to see if this only grows worse given the continued automation of industries like manufacturing that have traditionally been the backbone of the American middle class d…

First things first, get an advisor. You need someone whose been down this road before to mentor you. Not to downplay your intelligence, but as I decided to launch a company this su…

Have you raised a family and friends round? What amount of capital are you looking for? If you just launched 3 months ago, I'd say seed level, but I don't have enough specifics on …

> Let your heart break. It will change what you do with your optimism.

As a fellow health-tech entrepreneur, it's refreshing to see the business press reporting on something more than just "Yo." I hope this kind of publicity continues. The industry ne…

I'd be happy to talk more about that; right now, though, I've been working on the business model / user research for 4-5 months and just scored a decent partnership with the NIH ye…
