Why Mentorship?
Being a founder–CEO in health tech or life sciences is exhilarating – but let’s be honest, it can also be isolating. You’re navigating investors, regulation, science, hiring, strategy, and often for the first time. That’s where mentorship comes in. The right mentor won’t run your business for you, but they will challenge your thinking, offer shortcuts around hard-won lessons, and help you avoid mistakes that cost time, money, and momentum.
They’ve sat where you’re sitting now and they know how to move fast without losing focus. In health innovation, success isn’t just about brilliant ideas. It’s about making smart decisions under pressure, building resilient teams, and staying mission-aligned when things get tough. A mentor helps you step back, sharpen your thinking, and lead with more clarity and confidence. It’s not about having all the answers – it’s about knowing where to look.
“As an entrepreneur in the healthcare space, it’s imperative to have a mentor. They’re able to open doors for you that would take months or years to open otherwise”
