“So the tools that are being used behind the scenes that are hopefully reducing administration costs and that will hopefully trickle down to our costs as health care consumers. But I think where it really gets exciting is applying AI to what we call personalized medicine.”
‍In this episode, we’re joined by Halle Tecco, founder, investor, professor, and author of the new book Massively Better Healthcare. Hallie has done it all: she founded and sold women’s health company Natalist in under three years, launched one of the first venture funds focused on healthcare tech, invested in over 50 healthcare startups, and now teaches at Columbia Business School while advising the next generation of founders.Halle shares the lessons she wishes every healthcare innovator knew from day one—why great ideas often stall, how to de-risk a business without dimming your ambition, and what truly separates breakthroughs from dead ends. We dive into her journey of publishing a book without an agent, why healthcare’s biggest challenges can actually become a founder’s moat, and the four emotional stages every entrepreneur cycles through while building a company.
