🚀 Proud to be a sponsor — and an active contributor — at youngStartup Ventures West next week in Silicon Valley.

A heartfelt thank you to Joe Benjamin and the incredible team at youngStartup Ventures for building one of the most dynamic and well-curated innovation summits in the country. The caliber of founders, investors, and thinkers they bring into the room is genuinely unmatched. 🙏


I'll be facilitating two sessions I care deeply about — and I'm going in with one goal: make sure everyone in the room walks away with something real.

"What Founders Think Drives Success vs. What Actually Determines Outcomes"


I'll be leading a round table discussion from on the most dangerous assumptions in business aren't the ones you know are wrong — they're the ones that feel completely reasonable. This is a candid, high-trust conversation for founders and investors willing to stress-test what they believe and get honest about what actually shapes outcomes when the pressure is on. No talking points. No polished narratives. Just hard-won insight from people who've lived it.

Beyond the Science: The MedTech VC Playbook — Venture Summit West 2026


I'll be moderating a conversation with investors who have collectively seen more MedTech deals, pivots, and exits than most people encounter in an entire career. Judyanna Yu Simcock, Samir Batra, Gary Gershony, Seamus Hatch, Ephraim Lindenbaum, and Eric Ulchaker aren't coming to recite talking points — they're bringing the unfiltered, battle-tested perspective that rarely makes it onto a conference stage. 💡


Reimbursement realities, the gap between a compelling clinical story and a truly fundable business. If you're building or backing in MedTech, this is the room to be in.


✨ If you're attending Venture Summit West, I'd love to connect. Come find me after either session — or drop a note below and let's make it happen.
