In my work with startups in the health and life sciences space, I have the opportunity to see which stumbling blocks commonly arise when companies are going from ideation to minimal viable product (MVP). To that end, I’ve curated a set of resources to help you navigate the most common pitfalls I see with health and life science (HLS) startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Cloud for Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the recently released Microsoft Cloud for Health, startups are eager to understand what it is and how it might impact the industry. Additionally, many founders are eager to know what our strategy is for each of the industry segments we serve, i.e., providers, payers, and pharmaceutical, life sciences and medical device companies. These links will help you understand Microsoft’s positioning and where your startup fits within that framework. It’s important to remember that Microsoft is, as Satya Nadella, our CEO and Board Chair stated, a “productivity and platform company<\/a>.” We don’t build healthcare solutions, our partners \u2013 and startups, do. So, check out these resources to learn more about our HLS strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
