What would you do if you had $24 left in the bank? At an event last week I opened up about one of the most vulnerable moments in my founder journey at Rainfall Health in front of hundreds of people. Where it seemed like all hope was lost and we came out the other side equipped with even more resources and a deep bench of experienced investors and advisors. #startuplife

Last week I ventured to CDL-Seattle at the University of Washington and joined an amazing group of entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, and founders sharing a common purpose to transform #healthcare Given the tenuous position of some of the typical players in our industry, and an abundance of inefficiencies and frustrations felt by its stakeholders, conditions are ripe and the time is now for computational health/medicine enabled solutions to solve some of the stickiest challenges our caregivers, patients, and communities face. Great things lie ahead. Thank you to the CDL-Seattle team Emer Dooley Dhwani Patel Amy Lippmann Bulat Idrisov MD,MSc for your masterful facilitation and organization to herd us cats, and cheers to all the founders and fellow mentors who charge this ecosystem Greg Bullington Henry Albrecht James Wantuck, MD Trevor Vieweg Evan (???) Lee Rajashree Varma Peter Pronovost MD, PhD, FCCM William Canestaro, PhD Barbara K. Zehentner, MBA, PhD, HCLD (ABB) just to name a few…vamos!!!!

It was great to return to another season of CDL-Seattle's computational health stream last week. I've seen many incubators, and Creative Destruction Lab is consistently one of the best for the following reasons: ?? World-class mentors who have built and exited companies devote four hours every 8 weeks to work with the companies that move on. ?? The feedback is direct, helpful, and brutally honest. You can spend months trying to get the kind of feedback from Zoom pitches that you can get in a single day of CDL. ?? Streams are focused on specific industries, so there's far less general business advice and more specific feedback from someone who's built a company in your vertical. ?? It's all equity-free, philanthropically supported, and includes an educational component for UW Foster School of Business students. ? Sessions are ALWAYS on schedule, and the organizing team is amazing. Thanks to Emer Dooley, Amy Lippmann, Dhwani Patel, Cassa Hanon, and Ramzy Huneidi for running such a great session. ?? Last, but not least, the program brings together some of the most amazing people from the local entrepreneurial ecosystem looking to pay it forward with young companies. #startups #entrepreneurship #mentorship #education University of Washington CoMotion at University of Washington Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship
