Introduction

Today we dove into the messy world of healthcare. Over the last 20 years, hospital services have become more expensive by over 200% in the United States. An oddity of sorts given that most costs have gone down - technology comes in, unleashes innovation and has a deflationary effect on price.

Healthcare has been the opposite - it’s complex from a regulatory perspective and an operational perspective. I’m always inspired by founders taking on healthcare and this week was glad to chat with Michelle Davey of Wheel.

Michelle has raised over $70M to empower better patient outcomes and create tools for healthcare workers. In this discussion we talked about the challenges of building in healthcare, where the opportunities sit, and how to build a hyper growth company.
