DESIGNED FOR SCALE: THE HEALTH TECH GROWTH PODCAST

We go deep into conversation with founders, CEOs and CMOs to find out what really drives health tech growth.

We’ll dig into why health tech companies really struggle to grow (spoiler: it’s human reasons, not technical) and what the smartest brands are doing about it.

This is for health tech leaders who know a great product isn’t enough and that growth comes from clarity, trust and adoption.

Episode 1: Richard Paxman — CEO Paxman Scalp Cooling

We sit down with Richard, CEO of pioneering medtech company Paxman Scalp Cooling, to hear how purpose helped them scale to 150+ people, about the acquisition of their biggest competitor that they said would never happen, and whether growth is easier in the US or UK.

Episode 2: Wendy Powell — CEO MUTU System

MUTU is the NHS-trusted core and pelvic floor programme, but it's growing into something much bigger.

We chat to Wendy about how she bootstrapped MUTU into a global movement, without VC investment, the benefits of US market vs NHS, and MUTU's move from postnatal recovery to perimenopause, not to mention how the likes of Kate Middleton and P!NK are involved!
