To Summarize where we are so far:
Rule # 10: “Be in the right Place“
Rule #9: “Do One Thing Well”
After sitting in on 100’s of pitches in the past two years it constantly amazes me how much start-ups try to do. Like it is not hard enough to get one peice of digital health technology perfect. Everyone in healthcare whether a patient or provider or payor is beyond busy, if you try to make them take the time to figure it out or they aren’t sure in 10 seconds what they get out of it then, it won’t fly.

As Steve Jobs said “it’s not deciding what to do, it is deciding what not to do” In our world more is not necessarily better. So make the hard decisions and don’t keep adding to your product wish list. Don’t be influenced by friends and colleagues who suggest additional things to do. Stay focused and prioritize.
The best example in our experience is Sonny Vu who we put on stage in 2012 at Ruby Skye at an event we called Healthcare Revolution. He brought his Misfit Shine prototype and showed that healthcare wearables could be beautiful. Three years later almost to the day he sold that company for 260M to Fossil. So stay focused and make products people love and you will go far.
