We are a small but mighty collection of Founders, Clinicians, and operators.
Our story began with an idea. founders should be focused on building the future of medicine, not the minutiae of business. we founded this firm to make that a reality.
Too often, brilliant founders struggle to translate breakthroughs from the benchtop to the bedside. This is usually not because there is something wrong with their science or care model, but because what is required for success at scale is completely different from what is needed to get started.
For many digital health startups, the riskiest point is not pre-revenue, but actually once the money starts flowing and the users skyrocket. While growth is a great problem to have, many companies stumble and fail at this juncture because they are unable to operationalize their business. To put it more simply, if your clinical and business systems are unable to keep up with the market demand, your new patients will become unhappy, your clinical outcomes will suffer, and once that flywheel starts, there is very little that you can do to turn things around.
With over 40 years of combined experience leading companies that raised $750M+ from VCs, we are true startup and healthcare veterans. We understand what you have gone through, and we know the challenges that lie ahead because we have lived through them ourselves.
Our focus is always on what is best for you, your team, and your patients. We aim to build capabilities, not dependencies, so you are set up for success long after we stop working together. Our goal is honestly to get fired because if you have unlocked so much clinical and operational performance that you need to hire an entire full-time team to keep up.
Iatro Advisors is not a consulting firm because we are not consultants. We are licensed clinicians, venture-backed founders, and unicorn executives. Most importantly, we partners in your journeyand your startup’s strategic copilot in your success.
