Last night, we had the pleasure of hosting the MedTech Collaborative for an insightful panel discussion. A special thanks to Will Jeffries, Hula member and MedTech Collaborative member, for connecting us with this community. Our biggest takeaway: The room was full of people at different stages of their ventures, all eager to learn. They asked sharp questions and listened closely. The best part is that they left with more knowledge and connections than they came with. What more could you really want from an event? Want to see MedTech innovation in action?
