Episode Description
What does it take to build a health AI company that actually gets funded right now? Greg Yap, Partner at Menlo Ventures, sits down with StartUp Health co-founder Unity Stoakes to unpack how a 50-year-old venture firm is investing across the health AI landscape, why product is no longer the moat it once was, and how founders should approach fundraising as expectations shift. Yap draws on decades as an operator, having led diagnostics work at Roche/Ventana and built businesses at Affymetrix, PyrAmes, and BlueLight Therapeutics, to explain what he's really evaluating in a founding team.
