Vision Health Pioneers Incubator ’s Post

We were thrilled to host the panel "Innovating Healthcare: Bridging Clinical Expertise with Entrepreneurial Vision" with Wellstar Health System leaders, exploring the complexities of bringing clinical expertise and entrepreneurial thinking together in the healthcare space. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us from near and far! Our panel at Venture Atlanta delved into the culture of innovation in healthcare, focusing on how to create space for risk-taking in a traditionally risk-averse industry. The discussion also highlighted the importance of clinical expertise in shaping venture investments, ensuring that those closest to patients are informing the solutions startups develop. We explored the intersection of healthcare and technology, health equity, and how leaders like those at Catalyst by Wellstar are advancing care through entrepreneurial collaboration. A huge thank you to Beth Kost-Woodrow Daniel Fortes, MD, MBA, FACS Snehal Doshi for providing your expertise and the gift of your time! And to our own Patric Rayburn for moderating!   We’re also excited to spotlight one of our panelists, Nicole Cook, founder of Alvee AI, a startup focused on advancing health equity. This partnership will help Catalyst take an important step toward addressing healthcare gaps in underserved communities. It's an honor to be a part of Venture Atlanta Conference, surrounded by incredible leaders and endless inspiration. Together, we’re shaping the future of innovation and redefining startup culture in this amazing city. #VentureAtlanta #HealthcareInnovation #CatalystByWellstar #InnovatingHealthcare #Entrepreneurship SoundingBoard Engage #va2024

Health care is fundamentally about cooperation and relationships. Between clinicians, between doctors and patients, and beyond. So, what else could the health.tech conference be about? We had the privilege of engaging in some truly insightful conversations and panel discussions at this year’s conference. It was inspiring to see that even the big companies are embracing collaboration and partnerships, recognizing the immense potential of working together with startups to foster mutual growth. A standout moment was the roundtable with Okan Ekinci, MD MBA from Roche, where we delved into new ways of working with corporates and explored what platform business means for founders. It was enlightening to see how these concepts can help scale startups effectively. Another highlight was our discussion with Ursula Costa from DayOne - Healthcare Innovation. We talked about the possibilities for incubators to partner and learn from each other, sharing insights and fostering innovation together. We felt immense pride watching our head of Incubation, Kseniia Choni, take the stage and moderate crucial discussions for startup founders. It was equally exciting to see other participant's posts highlighting our coach, Farina Schurzfeld's memorable insight: "DiGA is a revenue model, not a growth model." Our team, including Kseniia Choni and Susa Horvath, had engaging conversations with early-stage #femtech founders during a speed dating program, and we introduced our Vision Health Pioneers Incubator program to many enthusiastic participants. Thank you to everyone for the new connections and reconnections, and for all those “aha” moments when meeting in person those we previously only knew through screens. It was good to meet you Adam Formanek, Przemek Grzywa, Jonas Albert, Aline Noizet, Christian Kunze, team coobi, Galina Bankova ❤️🔥, Miriam Mirza, Tom Sieron As our beloved prototyping coach, Niklas Laasch, aptly said, “After the health.tech conference is before the health.tech conference. See you at the next one—prepared and well-rested! ☺️” #health #healthtech #startup #conference #HT24 #partnership #collaboration #innovation #fundraising #valuebasedcare #münchen #startupincubator

I believe the Polish healthcare system is very startup-friendly. Why? There is (almost) no public funding. You have to be international from day one and have a commercial strategy in place from the very beginning to be successful. Execution is everything. I know great Polish health tech startups that are not even considering the Polish market but decide to go straight to international markets. They are not domestically driven, as the Polish public healthcare system does not welcome innovation. Am I correct? I will find out next week during Targi Salmed in Poznań. The discussion will be led by Artur Olesch, and I will have a great pleasure to discuss that on stage together with: 1. Ewelina Barylska, COO, Salve Medica. 2. Nikoletta Magdalena Buczek, Innovation manager, Instytut Matki i Dziecka. 3. Bartosz Borucki, CEO, Smarter Diagnostics. 4. Jakub Chwiecko, Managing partner, NIL IN - Sieć Lekarzy Innowatorów. 5. Łukasz Mańkowski, Managing partner, Aligo Venture Capital. Is anyone planning to join the event next week? What are your thoughts regarding the healthcare startup ecosystem in Poland?

Healthcare startup ecosystem in Poland – what does it look like in 2024? 🩺👀 When you look around the global medical environment, you will discover numerous #startups that accelerate innovations in new diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. But how does the #healthcare startup ecosystem really work in Poland? This issue was deeply discussed at Targi Salmed in Poznań, where Przemek took part in a stimulating discussion led by Artur Olesch and talked with Ewelina Barylska, Nikoletta Magdalena Buczek, Bartosz Borucki, Jakub Chwiecko and Łukasz Mańkowski. They noticed that healthcare systems resist innovation, prompting startups to bypass domestic markets and target international ones where innovation is more welcomed. What would help them? Here are some key insights from the discussion: 💡 Early collaboration between medical startups and hospitals is vital for validating startup ideas, adapting to real medical needs, and ensuring the effectiveness of introduced solutions. 💡 Good funding, strong motivation, and the best team are also crucial. 💡 The success of a startup hinges on establishing a global network, taking an international approach, crafting a strong business plan, and prioritising collaboration and idea-sharing.

Venture builders have the power to transform #digitalhealthcare. This may seem like a bold statement, but the more we work with such entities, the more we recognize their vast potential. 📌The venture builder model is crucial because digital health startups face a high failure rate of 80-90%, said our special guest Sylvia Butzke during Forbes Bulgaria Health Summit. She presented NLC Health Ventures – a world-leading healthtech venture builder and early-stage investor. Healthcare is unlike any other business field; it involves significant regulatory complexity and uncertainty. The #venturebuilder approach could provide the #healthcare industry with the speed it needs to keep up with other sectors where #technological advancements are already in place. 👉 Check out our insights on that conversation on our website: https://lnkd.in/dEAGHkfn
