Health innovation community leader, platform builder, VC, mentor, product and business developer. With the help of some incredible people, I have had the good fortune to have worked on some interesting things. Here are a few of my favorites, most recent first: - Raised our second fund and invested in 19 deals that have generated top-tier results with a significant positive impact for patients. Fund II opened 2019, first exit in 2022 (MedStartr.vc), second in 2024. MVF III Open now (1/2025) - Assembled and led a team of our MedStartr Mentor experts on a turnaround that was highly effective, solving a problem previously unsolved for over 80 years that will likely transform medicine and research - Running the MedStartr Accelerator since 2016 helping scores of healthcare startups scale faster - Have run over 1,200 events online and in 40+ cities for over 100,000 attendees (#MedMo World Tour) - Developed the MedStartr Crowd-Validation data model and algorithms, now being improved with AI/ML - Created the leading healthcare innovation crowdfunding site (MedStartr.com) - Developed the MedStartr CrowdChallenge and ran contests HHS, Takeda, Oschner, BCBS, AHA, AMA and dozens of other clients that helped them connect to crowd-validated startups and drives innovation further faster in healthcare.
