Amber Therapeutics has developed a solution that scientists previously thought was impossible — a revolutionary implantable system that treats urinary incontinence by targeting the pudendal nerve. For founder Aidan Crawley, this journey into groundbreaking science came after a successful career in finance and software. His true passion: taking on a major unmet healthcare need that could improve millions of lives. “I got exhausted trying to come up with the next trillion-dollar app in crowded markets, wondering if we were inventing problems to solve,” Aidan says. “I wanted to work on a problem that is indisputably real, where the difficulty is in the execution. If you’ve got a cure for a disease that impacts millions of people and you have 55 hurdles to get over, that’s a fun challenge.” Read our full Q&A with Aidan to learn more about his journey founding Amber Therapeutics and why he’s forecasting a bright future for health tech. https://lnkd.in/gH6YYhSE #healthtech #founders #medicine

Healthcare’s biggest challenge? A torrent of unstructured patient data, thousands of billing codes, and decades of records that make it harder than ever for medical professionals to do their jobs. “You have very highly trained, expensive resources spending hours on the kind of stuff that should be invisible,” says Anterior (formerly Co:Helm) co-founder and CEO Abdel Mahmoud, MD. “Doctors, nurses, and prescribers are drowning in administration and burnt out. We asked ourselves, what could we do? What if we could free up that resource by creating an intelligence system?” Anterior’s AI-driven platform uses LLMs to handle these technical tasks and uplift clinicians. Watch our full interview with Abdel and NEA's Mohamad Makhzoumi below to learn more about his company’s evolution, and why the opportunities for technology in healthcare are endless. https://lnkd.in/gxacsquK #healthcare #ai #llm

💡 Databricks offers a revolutionary software product, but the company’s Co-Founder and CEO Ali Ghodsi says their success has as much to do with human connection and trust as its machine learning algorithms. "In my previous life as a researcher, I published papers and talked to computers. They're very binary,” says Ghodsi. “When it comes to humans, it's all about the trust that you're building with them. A lot of things just come down to that. The only way you can do that is by talking often and forging that relationship and being vulnerable both ways.” Listen to the full conversation with Ghodsi to hear about the defining moments that have shaped Databricks' ascent, why partnerships matter, and when to pursue them. 🎧 https://lnkd.in/gUaS9ZU9 #startups #founders #podcast
