Welcome

"Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty, find opportunity." - Albert Einstein


Welcome. In the recent months, I've had many conversations with my friends and colleagues here in Silicon Valley regarding the formulation, design, development and growth of a broad variety of companies (from medical device to consumer products to SaaS) and their products.

In the course of these discussions, we've exchanged a variety of information we've found useful in these endeavors - healthcare trends, technology, funding, design, manufacturing, etc. I've compiled a set of this information here to a) ease the exchange of this information and b) facilitate the creation of great companies.

To be clear, this is not intended as a comprehensive compilation of industry news and data, but rather a set of information and insights which we've found useful. Also note that this is a compilation of information from a variety of sources, some independent, some with an agenda. As such, the authors own their own material and "the opinions of the authors are their own".
