The speakers discuss the difficulties of acquiring patients for a healthcare service in the early days, highlighting the absence of digital marketing and social media. They explore the primary ways people found doctors back then and reflect on the differences in missions and target populations between one medical and Galileo.
In this episode, Vivien interviews Tom Lee, Founder of Galileo, One Medical and Epocrates. Tom is currently the CEO and founder of Galileo, a modern medical group committed to making quality health care affordable and accessible to all.
Galileo raised a Series C round from Foresight Capital, with previous investors including Oak HC/FT, Redpoint, and DNA Capital. Prior to Galileo, Tom also founded One Medical, a national leader in tech-enabled primary care that went public in 2020 and Epocrates, a medical reference app still widely used today. On top of all this, Tom is also a board certified internist who completed training at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital.
