In this session, Jason Watt, CEO & Co-Founder of FeynMed Solutions, shares insights from his first year navigating the sector from a quasi-outsider's perspective. From shaping a business plan and crafting a compelling narrative to building a team, securing partners, and managing early-stage operations, this talk offers a candid look at the realities of starting and scaling in life sciences. It will also touch on fundraising and cap tables, lessons from JPM Healthcare Week, the realities of operating a facility without revenue, and preparing for future regulatory demands.
