Episode notes

I love to talk about the sort of, you know, founding story a little bit. I think the third company is completely different from first 20. It's like everybody agrees with what you say. Everybody wants to invest. Nobody will challenge you. And so you can make that big mistakes because you're not challenged enough. So yeah, building the team is much easier. But it's also easy to pick your team from this huge pool of people who have been working with before.

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.
