Great ideas aren't worth much. Here's why: For digital health — Evidence is KING. But most founders are wasting time and money on the wrong stuff. “...our fancy AI can empower...identify...enable...optimize...” Ok. Cool story, bro. Show me the data. Otherwise that's not worth much. But a dead-simple app. With rock-solid proof. For something buyers actually care about? Easily worth 10x more. Great digital health founders who actually build profitable products understand this equation. You can become a great one by starting with small-scale, exploratory research. You need daily iteration and validation for months. Not weeks. Get your research game on point. Today. Our crew at Manos Health just collaborated with Roche to show you how, with our "Build, Prove, Launch" framework. Check it out and let me know what you think. 

The new CB Insights Digital Health report is out. Here is a short summary: 1️⃣ #Europe is falling behind with the lowest deal share in past years of only 17%, compared to 61% of the #USA. 2️⃣ #Angel and #Corporate investing fell to a low of 6% and 13% respectively. We don’t expect corporate investment to pick up in the short term. They might better focus on creating strategic advantages and acquisitions. Good investors go anti-cyclical - so this could be a good time for Angels to be more active. 3️⃣ The number of #earlystage #funding has been down, from a stable 65% to 51% of total deals, for the first time since 2020. In Europe the share went from 74% down to 66%. 4️⃣ The time of #Unicorns is over and flat since 2022. There has been no new HealthTech unicorn this year. 5️⃣ The vast majority of exits remain M&A - making it almost the only realistic #exit scenario. Let's take those global numbers with caution. In the past #Switzerland has been more resilient, also in startup investments and especially in the #Healthcare industry, one of the backbones of the country. https://lnkd.in/e37r8Usc

What’s the approach to market access for digital health companies? Digital health companies have been forced to be extremely creative and innovative in their business models. In this clip, Heather Roxborough, Partner at Oxford Sciences Enterprises, sheds light on the diverse strategies these companies adopt, pointing out there’s no one-size fits all approach. It’s not out of the ordinary for some companies to even have two or three different commercial models that are running in parallel. Tune in to hear more from these incredible panelists as they discuss the process and pitfalls of operating, investing in, or commercializing a digital health/therapeutics startup. • Imran Hamid, MD (Moderator) — LifeArc Ventures • Heather Roxborough — Oxford Science Enterprises • Jordi Ferrer Rendé — Ship2B Ventures • Guillem Masferrer — Asabys Partners • Xavier Palomer Ripoll — XRHealth (formerly Amelia) The full #LSIEurope23 panel, ‘Opportunities for Impact: Building & Investing in Digital Platforms for Mental & Behavioral Health, Chronic Disease, & More’ is available on our website and YouTube channel.
