Your groundbreaking healthtech solution may have the potential to save millions of lives, but it may still not get funding. Most startups fail to raise funds despite tackling critical healthcare issues. Here's why — and more importantly, how to fix it. - 90% of healthtech pitches focus on the problem - Only 30% can show clear revenue potential - Less than 20% have strong early adoption metrics I’ve consulted with over 55 healthtech founders in the last year. Here’s the key advice I gave them, to avoid that fate: ▶︎ 1. Traction before perfection Y Combinator's latest data shows startups with early user adoption are 3x more likely to secure funding. Show: - Evidence of the unmet need (customer interviews/data) - Proof that your ideal customer will pay for the solution - Early revenue or LOIs even without a finished product - Predictable pipeline of customers ready to buy ▶︎ 2. Clear revenue mapping Healthcare is complex, but your revenue model shouldn't be. Investors need to see: - Who's actually paying for your solution - How you'll navigate the healthcare ecosystem - Clear unit economics that scale ▶︎ 3. Growth strategy beyond features Investors aren't just buying your current solution — they're betting on your future. So ensure that you show them: - Partnership opportunities - Market expansion possibilities - Integration with existing infrastructure ▶︎ 4. Proof over promise The most successful healthtech funding raises in 2024 had these elements: - Working MVPs focused on one core problem - Partnerships with credible healthcare institutions - Clear demand validation through market testing ▶︎ 5. Scale-ready operations Remember: investors need a 10x return. So your pitch should demonstrate: - How you'll scale across regions - Tech infrastructure that can handle growth - A clear path to market leadership The healthcare ecosystem needs more than just good ideas. It needs execution-focused founders who can turn solutions into scalable businesses. Have you solved these roadblocks and are ready for healthtech investors? I have a great surprise for you: A list of 100 healthtech investors who invested over $1B in 2024. It’s free, at available at the link in my featured section. #entrepreneurship #startup #funding

VCs are NOT investing in healthtech in 2025. Last month, I saw 3 promising healthtech startups get rejected by VCs. When I asked them what went wrong - they said investors think healthtech is too risky. Getting an ROI in healthtech and medtech - takes a lot of time. There are technical risks, clinical risks and market risks. Even I got curious - why do investors even invest in healthtech? So I reached out to a few investors I know - who only prefer investing in healthtech. I spoke to 20+ investors, and found out why they like healthtech. 1. Long-term ROI Healthtech is 8-10 years game, not a quick exit. But the multiple in exit scenario is quite high (10x, 20x). So investors look for founders who can stick with them for a long ride. 2. Ageing population and system failures Europe and US healthcare system is heading towards a crisis with the ageing population. It will either collapse or transform completely. Healthtech done today will dominate tomorrow as 16 also predicted the next biggest company in the world will be a consumer health tech company (imagine Apple of healthtech). 3. Loyal customer base with very high LTV This industry has low customer churn. Once you get a customer in healthcare, they stick around for 10-20 years. This increases customer life-time value with low risk of churn. But here's what these investors WON'T touch: 1. Saturated markets Another diabetes or mental health solution? Pass. Unless you're truly revolutionary, they're avoiding saturated spaces. 2. Scientist, not entrepreneur Having only scientific expertise isn't enough. They want entrepreneurs who can build businesses, not just publish papers. 3. No CEO? If you are a researcher or clinician and will "Hire a CEO later". This is a big red flag. They need founding teams who is complete - who manages money, who writes the code (or creates the medical tech.) & who brings in the customers - all should be 100% clear 4. Software as a medical device Their 1st priority is non-regulatory products, 2nd is hardware medical devices. SAMD is the last priority. So, what do investors actually care about? -Team (founders who are fully committed and bring in complimentary skills) -Market traction (proof that someone will pay for the solution) -Business model (clear path to long-term profitability) If you’re a healthtech startup and you are getting rejections from Investors, comment ‘REJECTION’. Let’s audit your fundraising strategy together. #healthtech #investments #startup

Founders in Healthcare: Older and Wiser? 🏥 Surprising Fact Friday The average age of digital health startup founders in healthtech was 47 in 2019- nearly two decades older than software startup founders! (Source: Rock Health) Why The high stakes of healthcare demand more experience. Founders often have long medical careers first to build domain expertise before starting a company to navigate complex regulations. While youth is celebrated in tech, healthcare startups may actually benefit from more seasoned founders. Does more life experience better prepare entrepreneurs to tackle healthcare's biggest challenges? or maybe it's that niche knowledge that's needed to make a very specific impact? Let me know what you think.

Most startups fail. It's the nature of entrepreneurship, and the healthcare industry is no exception. While egregious failures— like Done, uBiome, and of course Theranos— get outsized media attention… Very few failures in our space are actually rooted in fraud or intentional deception. The difficulty of building in healthcare, combined with bad timing and bad luck, can lead to solutions that simply don't succeed, even when it comes from the best of intentions. Startups are built upon dozens, if not hundreds, of assumptions about how the future will unfold. Founders assume a product will work as envisioned, that acquiring customers will be economically feasible, that somebody will pay for the product or service, that competitors will respond in a certain way, that the regulatory environment will remain favorable, that investors will fund them, and the list goes on and on. When a startup fails, it’s generally because one of the core assumptions did not pan out. Ultimately, building a successful healthcare startup is a Herculean feat requiring skill, experience, connections, and also some serendipity. For those who are up to the challenge, the rewards could not be higher. Not just in terms of financial success, but in making healthcare massively better for all. #startups #digitalhealth #vc

Why Physicians Should Be at the Helm of Healthcare Entrepreneurship Physicians are on the frontlines of healthcare, experiencing daily the triumphs, challenges, and gaps in the system. Yet, historically, their involvement in healthcare entrepreneurship has been limited. Here’s why that should change—and how Healthcare Shares supports this vital shift. 1. Unmatched Insight into Healthcare Needs Physicians have a deep understanding of patient care, clinical workflows, and the unmet needs within the healthcare ecosystem. Unlike traditional venture capitalists, who may prioritize financial returns over patient outcomes, physicians can identify impactful innovations that truly improve lives. 2. A Voice for Social Impact Healthcare entrepreneurship must go beyond profits—it must also serve the greater good. Physicians, driven by a commitment to the Hippocratic Oath, bring a unique focus on balancing financial success with social impact. They are natural advocates for advancing the Quintuple Aim: improving patient experience, enhancing population health, reducing costs, supporting provider well-being, and promoting health equity. 3. Breaking Down Barriers to Innovation Traditional venture capital often feels inaccessible or misaligned with healthcare founders’ goals. Founders may struggle with VCs who lack healthcare experience or who prioritize professional management over the founding team. By empowering physicians as investors and founders, we build bridges between clinical expertise and entrepreneurial innovation. How Healthcare Shares Supports Physician Entrepreneurs At Healthcare Shares, we provide a comprehensive platform designed to amplify the influence of physician entrepreneurs: Venture Capital Fund: Backed by physicians and healthcare executives, our fund invests in startups aligned with the Quintuple Aim. This ensures that innovations reflect the priorities of healthcare professionals. Venture Studio: Inspired by the success of models like Flagship Pioneering, we co-create startups from scratch, leveraging physician insights to build impactful solutions. Community and Resources: Our online community of 400+ members fosters collaboration, mentorship, and shared learning among healthcare professionals, investors, and innovators. Marketing and Software Support: From pitch decks to software development, we provide tools that help physician-led startups scale effectively. Join the Movement Healthcare Shares is more than a venture capital firm; it’s a movement to empower physicians as change-makers in healthcare. If you’re a physician or healthcare executive eager to lead the next wave of innovation, we invite you to collaborate with us. Together, we can create a healthier, more equitable world. #healthcareshares #venturecapital #socialimpact #physicianentrepreneurship Daniel Dow, M.D. Siddhart Dutt Soo Rhee Lisa T.
