In this chapter, the hosts discuss the early days of One Medical, their lack of experience in running a medical practice, and the complexities of the healthcare industry. They reflect on the challenges they faced and their decision to start the business despite not being fully prepared.
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.
