What an incredible first day at health.tech conference in Munich! Whether you're a startup founder, health tech expert, or investor, you probably wished you could clone yourself to attend all the fascinating events. Our Head of Incubation, Kseniia Choni, led an insightful panel discussion on Navigating market entry: Strategies for patient-centric medical device startups with Laura Anhorn, Dr. Ron Lehnert, Jhonatan Bringas Dimitriades, MD, and Carsten Laue. Alongside her, one of our coaches Farina Schurzfeld engaged with four successful founders and a go-to-market expert. From conquering the NHS to becoming a DiGa leader and scaling beyond 1,000+ hospitals, they shared their journeys through the complex healthcare market. Key takeaways included finding a product-market fit that transcends borders and pursuing business models that serve patients cost-free. The panelists didn't just highlight their success strategies but also the pitfalls they encountered along the way. Thank you for the great discussion Lucy Jones, Philip Heimann, Dr. Friderike Bruchmann and Maximilian Greschke.

Across Europe, a rising number of healthtechs are looking to help tackle staff shortages across healthcare systems in the face of growing — and ageing — populations by automating tasks, both in clinical and admin settings. And VCs are taking note. Healthtech 1, a UK-based startup developing tech to automate admin in GP practices around the country, has raised a $3.5m seed round. The round was led by London-based VC Moonfire, and also featured accelerator Y Combinator — which Healthtech-1 participated in last year — alongside a number of angels. Healthtech-1’s first product, which automates new patient registrations, is currently deployed in 10% of GP practices in England, says co-founder Raj Kohli, who launched the company with ex-Monzo engineer ☝️ Peter Huang. By the end of 2025, it's targeting more than 90%. https://lnkd.in/eyGSUEwr

We recently had the honor of hosting the 2024 cohort of the Swiss HLG Startup Initiative at the Johnson & Johnson Campus Basel. This annual, free educational program for healthcare entrepreneurs is co-organized by Swiss HLG, BaseLaunch, and Johnson & Johnson. During the workshop, startups had the opportunity to pitch their innovations and receive candid, tangible feedback from a mentoring panel of industry experts and venture capitalists. Here are three key insights I shared with the companies: 1. Address a key global health challenge: Ensure your asset or technology is truly novel and innovative, addresses an unmet medical need, and is supported by sufficient data. Explain how your science is transformational and how credible/validated it is. Consider how your program will be positioned in the global competitive environment once it reaches the market. 2. Keep it simple: Grab your audience’s attention by getting to the key points quickly and leaving out supplementary data. Your goal is to spark interest and secure a deeper dive. 3. Tailor your pitch: Understand your audience’s partnering or investment strategy and align your innovation accordingly. Utilize available information from company websites, press releases, or investor calls. And practice relentlessly. #myCompany #JNJinnovation #JNJswitzerland
