About this listen

The startup world needs doctors

Physician-led healthcare startups massively outperform their non-physician-led counterparts. But there’s a shortage of physicians in startups—and doctors aren’t taught about business.

Learn how to create or join a high-impact startup

Why Doctors Win explains how startups work, using case studies of doctor-led companies like Abridge, ChenMed, and Doximity. The author is the founding CEO of Curology, which has helped over 5 million patients and generated over $1 billion in revenue.

You'll discover:

1. Why being a physician gives you an edge.
2. How to recognize great startup ideas.
3. How to succeed in the startup world.
