Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wall Street Said It Couldn't Be Done, We Did It Anyway with Wayne Paterson
Q: At what point did you realize you would think differently about strategy compared to peers, given your pharma background?
I realized it once I understood that total disease management and patient-centric endpoints, not just device engineering, would drive clinical and market success; merging pharma's systemic perspective with medtech's device focus was essential to craft a durable investment thesis.
Venture is First and Foremost an Adventure with Iwan van Vijfeijken
Q: What is the fundraising plan and milestones for Microsure in the near term?
Raising a Series C to achieve CE mark, FDA clearance, and initial commercial traction, with phased European and then US launches, and building a US organization for growth.
Venture is First and Foremost an Adventure with Iwan van Vijfeijken
Q: Why was there a decision to redesign from MUSA 2 to MUSA 3 instead of pushing forward with the older model?
Because MUSA 2 did not meet the clinicians' dexterity and clinical needs; a complete redesign was pursued to ensure market fit and long-term utilization, even though it delayed market entry.
Building Acquisition-Ready Medtech from Series A with Gautam Kainth
Q: How do you decide when to bring strategics onto the cap table?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach; it depends on whether a strategic already participates, the potential for regulatory milestones, and whether the strategic fit is strong enough to justify their involvement early or if it's better to wait until near FDA/CE milestones.
The Heart Valve Treatment That Doesn't Touch the Patient with Carine Schorochoff
Q: What do you think has most stood out to you from your early feasibility studies?
Safety was the primary endpoint, and the validation of the hypothesis regarding low stroke rates was the most significant positive outcome from the studies.
