“The biggest learning for me and the biggest excitement with the community round is every time somebody invests, there's a little box where they get to put in information about why they're investing. Some folks don't say anything, but a lot of them do. It's been so rewarding for me to read through those comments and just hear the stories about family members and loved ones who see how they could use our technology.” Meet Conor Cullinane, PhD, an aeronautical engineer by training who went from designing NASA space suits to developing novel #medicaldevices. Conor has an impressive resume that includes Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He, along with two other rocket scientists, co-founded Pirouette Medical, a startup developing Quicpush, a disk-shaped autoinjector that delivers medicines with just the push of a button. Here’s a sneak peek into Conor’s conversation with Scott Nelson: 📐 Be selective with where you innovate. Disrupt where it matters most, but don't reinvent the wheel unnecessarily. By aligning with established practices and industry standards, you can streamline your development processes, reduce costs, and ultimately leave room for creative freedom where it counts. 🔄 Although less common in medtech, community fundraising rounds may offer benefits like brand awareness and direct engagement with potential end users. View all investors as valued partners to foster a strong community and feedback loop around your product. 👓 Everyone in the healthcare supply chain, from payers to providers, needs a reason to choose your product. To successfully launch a #medicaldevice, it's crucial to understand the needs of all stakeholders. Check out the full interview link with Conor in the comments below.
