If you're an entrepreneur or corporate innovator, why?
I want to change the world.
Why did you start your company or why do you want to innovate inside your company?
My co-founder Colin and I sold a company to athenahealth in 2016 and worked there for about 3 years on a variety of projects. athenahealth handles medical billing for ~10% of the US, and this experience gave us a front row seat to how the healthcare industry isn’t working for patients.
What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?
The most frustrating part is getting told no 1000x times.
The most rewarding part is proving that it can, in fact, be done.
What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs/innovators make?
Not launching early enough.
What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?
1. Managing your own psychology is the hardest part of being an entrepreneur. Take care of your health & mind as a top priority.
2. A small, focused team can accomplish an incredible amount.
3. Persistence is most of success.
