The Y Combinator Advantage in Healthcare Startups

In this episode, we answer listener questions about the current state of the market and share insights for healthcare founders raising VC funding. We also announce the merging of this show with Closing Time Podcast, and welcome our new co-host Michael Esquivel! Michael is an angel investor, a startup lawyer at Fenwick, and a Lecturer at Stanford Law School - we're excited to have him join the show!

We cover:

• The slow recovery of the IPO market and the prevalence of private M&A deals
• Realistic revenue targets and deal sizes for Series A rounds in the current market
• The importance of having a platform play rather than a point solution
• Negotiation strategies for founders to protect their interests while attracting investors
• Balancing time between recruiting, fundraising, and running the business as a founder
