MedTech Startup

Houston MedTech: A day with venture capital, converting scientists to industry, entrepreneurs with exits, pools in the shape of Texas, southern hospitality & Texas BBQ… Agenda…and the reason Lifeblood moved to Houston, Texas: 1) Coffee with Jerett Smith, Ballast Point Ventures, where we learned about his healthcare and MedTech focus for investing in Houston and greater Texas. We also (??) confirmed Jerett to sit on our panel at our event in Houston on Monday, November 18th in collaboration with Goodwin and Martin Gomez. Also, Jerett and I have another thing in common…we are both from Buffalo, New York. Go Bills! ?? 2) Lindsey Cauthen, Ph.D. from Baylor College of Medicine invited John Sousa, M.D. from Lifeblood to speak on his career transition of being a medical doctor to a MedTech recruiter and advisor for MedTech Startups with a room full of eager PhDs, scientists, and MDs who are interested to explore alternative career paths. Who knows we may get a couple to join Lifeblood…?? 3) An afternoon with Houston’s finest, Albert Huang, MD, discussing the future and possibilities for the MedTech ecosystem of Houston. Learn more about Albert’s success of founding and exiting his MedTech startup all within Houston on our podcast together: https://lnkd.in/egnRFwCN 4) Did you know the Marriot Marquis in Houston has a lazy river pool in the shape of Texas? Badass…https://lnkd.in/eSqXd9Ex 5) Southern hospitality and kindness is one of the motivations that pushed me to move my family and firm to Houston, and it’ll be one of the top reasons we stay in Texas. Lindsey Cauthen, Ph.D. gave Lifeblood the opportunity to present on a career development panel and started by greeting me with a gift bag and sweet card in celebration of the birth of my daughter, Luciana Luna (LuLu), on August 23rd. 6) And, before heading back to The Woodlands after a day of skipping breakfast and lunch in Houston, John Sousa, M.D. and I stopped at The Pit Room https://thepitroombbq.com for some of the finest Texas BBQ there is and washed it down with a Saint Arnold Brewing Company’s top beer, Lawn Mower K?lsch. 7) Never forget the “Power of Together.” We cannot go through life, build businesses, and be successful alone…it takes a village of people, strong communication, trust, and love for one another to keep on keeping on as a team! Houston is a constant reminder of the “Power of Together!” With love for good people and Houston MedTech, Mister MedTech of Lifeblood www.lifeblood.com
