Episode notes

In a previous podcast, you predicted that 50% of healthcare startups will die. So we are in a bubble right now; it's very easy to raise the seed rounds anywhere and especially with open AI. And so I think the reality is very different between the demo and a product that is used at the hospital every day. There is so much work and so hard that it will make a big difference.

Today, we’re excited to get to know Alexandre Lebrun, CEO and Cofounder of Nabla, a personalized AI assistant for doctors. Before founding Nabla, Alex was the Head of Engineering at Facebook AI research for almost four years, and is a seasoned entrepreneur, having sold his previous companies Wit.ai, an AI platform that makes it easy to build apps that understand natural human language, to Facebook in 2015 and VirtuOz, a customer service chatbot, to Nuance Communications in 2012.

In this episode, Alexandre shares his experiences after 22 years and founding 3 startups, why proprietary data is more important than ever for defensibility, tactics on GTM and customer focus specific to healthcare buyers, and opportunities and safety for generative AI in healthcare.
