  • MedTech Success Explained with 6 founders - The Triangle of value, The Team, and The Story That Gets Funded

    MedTech Success Explained with 6 founders - The Triangle of value, The Team, and The Story That Gets Funded
    May 4 2026

    What if your MedTech solves a real problem, shows great data… and still never gets used?


    🔍 What You’ll Learn:

    Most STEM professionals focus on building something that works.

    But in MedTech, success is decided by something far less obvious, whether your product fits into a complex system of people, incentives, and decisions.


    In this episode, Angelique pulls together insights from six founders who are all solving very different problems, from oxygen delivery to diagnostics, implants, and digital health.

    What emerges is a clear pattern of what actually moves a product forward, and what quietly blocks it.


    By the end of this episode, you will:

    • Learn how the triangle of value shapes every MedTech decision, clinical outcome, convenience, and cost

    • Understand why different stakeholders want different things, and how that creates friction in adoption

    • Discover what it really takes to build the right team and tell a story that gets funded


    This is where you stop thinking like a scientist solving a problem, and start thinking like someone building something that will actually be used.


    Press play to see how six founders navigated the reality of MedTech, and what you can apply to your own path.


    🧠 About the Guest:

    In this solo episode, Angelique Greco distils lessons from conversations with six MedTech founders across devices, diagnostics, and digital health.

    Through their stories, she breaks down the patterns behind products that move forward, and those that stall, showing how success is shaped by the system, not just the science.


    📌 Episode Highlights:

    00:00 Why great MedTech can fail despite strong science

    02:00 The triangle of value explained: outcome, convenience, cost

    04:00 ShanShan Wang: one product, three conflicting definitions of value

    07:30 Dharmica Mistry: you are not building for the patient

    10:00 Anushi Rajapaksa: what changes when you build for the end user

    13:00 Ida Tin: creating a new category to be understood

    16:00 Ben Wright: when incentives block adoption

    21:00 Why the team is the real risk investors look at

    24:00 The myth of the scientist-CEO and what actually works

    26:00 Venture studios and alternative ways to build a company

    30:00 Maryam Parviz: building a team that complements you

    34:00 Why storytelling is not optional in MedTech

    39:00 Creating a market when none exists

    43:00 Final recap: triangle, team, and story

  • Firechat on the mindset shifts, skills, and trade-offs no one tells you about building beyond the lab with Ben Wright co-founder of Mimetic foundry

    Firechat on the mindset shifts, skills, and trade-offs no one tells you about building beyond the lab with Ben Wright co-founder of Mimetic foundry
    Apr 13 2026

    What if the thing holding your career back isn’t your skills, but the beliefs you keep repeating?


    🔍 What You’ll Learn:

    Most STEM professionals don’t lack capability. They lack translation.

    This short fire chat cuts straight through the common beliefs that keep people stuck in roles that don’t reflect what they’re actually capable of doing.

    • Why “I’m just a scientist” is a dangerous story to keep telling yourself
    • What working smart actually looks like when time and money are on the line
    • How to define what “good enough” is, so you stop waiting and start moving

    This is the shift from technical expert to someone who can shape opportunities, not just respond to them.



    If you’re tired of waiting until you feel “ready,” play this episode and challenge the beliefs keeping you stuck.


    🧠 About the Guest:

    Ben Wright is a MedTech investor and operator who works with clinicians and scientists to build real companies, not just ideas.

    As co-founder of Mimetic MedTech Foundry, he helps translate research into viable businesses by bringing in the right skills, structure, and strategy early on.

    His perspective is grounded in reality, what actually works when money, time, and risk are involved.


    📌 Episode Highlights:

    00:00 The beliefs that quietly hold STEM professionals back

    01:30 What a venture studio actually does differently

    03:30 Why “I’m just a scientist” limits your career

    04:30 The two key skills scientists need outside the lab: storytelling and customer understanding

    05:50 What working smart actually means in startups

    06:40 Why “perfect” is the wrong goal in the real world

    07:40 How to define what’s good enough to move forward

    08:30 The real cost of starting something, time, relationships, and risk

    10:00 Why clarity on your path matters more than jumping into a startup

    • Mimetic MedTech Foundry


    🤔 Reflection Time:

    1. What belief about your role or identity is quietly keeping you playing small?
    2. Where are you waiting for “perfect” when “good enough” would already move you forward?
    3. If you looked at your career like a system, what skill or gap would you fill next instead of pushing harder?
