Listen: New For Startups, by Physicians podcast featuring MATTER
What Healthtech Startups Need and Why it Matters.
On the latest episode of the For Startups, by Physicians podcast, we are excited to delve into a fresh and fitting partnership: Steven Collens, CEO of MATTER, a healthcare technology incubator and corporate innovation accelerator, sits down to discuss how it will benefit both of our organizations:
This Chicago based startup-incubator is on a mission to “accelerate the pace of change in health care.” This is no menial task as is revealed in this discussion.
“Healthcare doesn’t function like a lot of industries, it’s confounding in a lot of unique and particular ways. in order to be a successful company you need to be able to really understand where the pitfalls are and how to navigate them.”
Our discussion covers the various obstacles that startups face in the health care world. Many of these challenges focus on the frontline professionals who possess the greatest insight and ideas on how to make the world of healthcare more efficient, more effective, and help more people.
Doctors, nurses, social-workers, registration techs, etc. tend to have exceptional ideas that foment innovation. For those who take the next step and found companies to implement these ideas, MATTER provides guidance and resources to fulfill their task, sets them up with connections to help them succeed, and addresses the issues that arise for many entrepreneurs.
The sheer range of companies that MATTER works with in the healthcare industry is as immense as it is impressive. With 60 formal partnerships and more than 150 additional relationships, they discuss a methodology that reflects what Inflect brings to the table in many ways.
These affiliations allow them to help larger, established companies facilitate innovation with novel startups that are etching out their roles in the healthcare industry, providing credence to Collens’’ philosophy that “collaboration is the best way to innovate in health care”.
