Description
Joining Erik for this episode are Robert Mittendorff (@doctorrem), partner at Norwest Venture Partners, and Ambar Bhattacharyya (@AmbarBh), managing director at Maverick Ventures.In a continuation of the Requests for Startups series, Erik asks Robert and Ambar what they would like to see built in the digital health space.They discuss which spaces are underdeveloped and are ripe for opportunities versus which spaces don't have room for new entrants. The unique nature of the regulatory environment in health can be a roadblock to new firms so they discuss topics around that and how it impacts startups in the space. They talk about why AI is actually under-hyped in the health space why they say it's "first half of the first inning" when it comes to digital therapeutics.The two also discuss former podcast guest Malay Ghandi's article about whether it's better to work within the system or outside of it when building a company in healthcare and explain why "you want to act like a wolf but look like a sheep."Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.
