1/ What have I learned as a #LifeSciences angel investor since 2007? 4 key qualities make a founder unstoppable. Let's take Omada, one of my earliest angel #investments. @omadahealth #vc #startup #healthcare
2/ First, @omadahealth is the definition of the MISSION-driven company. The founders lived + breathed #diabetes prevention and its digital manifestation from Day 1. đź’Ş #digitalhealth #startup
3/ Second, @omadahealth's founders were fluent in the latest technologies to drive their mission, taking the @NIH sponsored #diabetes Prevention Program and remaking it for digital + mobile. They ignored pharma orthodoxy to pioneer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a therapeutic.
4/ Third, with a focus on #clinical validation 🔬, Omada created an objective, data-driven platform where the results + ROI to customers were clear and verifiable. #Data don’t lie. #HealthTech #biotech ⚕️
5/ Last and certainly not least, ability! @omadahealth has a team of gifted founders + execs. CEO @Seanduffy dropped out of a @Harvard MD/MBA program to pursue his vision w/ cofounder @adrianbjames who had a decade of experience building health products at @ideo. #startups #team
