Digital health funding dropped 76%. This isn't a market correction—it's a reckoning - Episode 97

Описание: Why Silicon Valley's favorite mantra destroys healthcare companies—and what actually scales instead.

"Move fast and break things" works brilliantly for social media apps. In healthcare, it's not just ineffective—it's dangerous. In this episode, we dissect why digital health funding dropped 76% from its 2021 peak and reveal the real reason healthcare startups fail.

What you'll learn:

Why the #1 cause of digital health startup failure isn't funding or competition
The hidden cost of launching before clinical validation (backed by research)
What Theranos teaches us about weaponizing speed in healthcare
The alternative framework: "Build slowly, validate obsessively, scale deliberately"
How Epic Systems and Tempus built billion-dollar companies by moving right, not fast
Key stats covered:

Average FDA clearance timeline: 177 days (and why that's actually your moat)
Only 2.7% of diabetes apps have peer-reviewed evidence
Companies with FDA clearance have 3.2X higher survival rates
This isn't about being slow—it's about being strategic. Because in healthcare, the graveyard is full of companies that moved fast. The winners moved right.
