What You Get Each Week

What you get each week

Companies worth knowing about.

Meet the startups building the new devices, diagnostics, and digital health tools, and hear why their founders and CEOs think they’ll matter.

The real story, not the press release.

Founders and CEOs talk candidly about what went wrong, what nearly sank them, and the calls that got them through.

Lessons you can use.

Each email ends with my takeaways on fundraising, regulatory, commercialization, and more, whether you’re building a company or just want to understand how they get built.

About Scott

Hi, I’m Scott.

I co-founded Joovv and ran it as CEO for five years, growing it from zero to over $100 million in revenue. Today, I’m co-founder and CEO of FastWave Medical, where we’ve raised over $50 million. Before that, I worked at Medtronic, Covidien, Boston Scientific, and C.R. Bard.

I’ve raised money, guided class II and III devices through FDA, built a consumer brand from scratch, and made plenty of mistakes along the way. That’s why I started these interviews: the most useful lessons come from founders and CEOs willing to talk about what didn’t go to plan.
