S3 | E14 | Reimagining HealthTech from the Ground Up with John Beadle Co-Founder @ Aegis Ventures

In this episode, I'm joined by John Beadle, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Aegis Ventures, a New York-based venture studio that builds HealthTech companies in partnership with some of the country’s leading healthcare systems.

Aegis is taking a unique approach to digital health innovation, blending venture building with deep healthcare collaboration, whilst helping to reshape how care is delivered.

We cover:

  • How Aegis Ventures differs from traditional VCs and incubators
  • The Aegis Digital Consortium and its mission to put health systems at the center of innovation
  • How do they choose which healthcare challenges are worth solving
  • What founders must get right in the first 100 days of a new company
  • Why some startups struggle to gain traction with health systems, and how to avoid the same fate
  • How AI is influencing the kinds of companies Aegis is launching
  • The biggest mistakes early-stage healthtech founders make

Whether you’re a founder, investor, or operator in digital health, this episode offers real insight into how the future of care is being built.
