Insights From an Investor With 20+ MedTech Board Seats | Irit Yaniv, Almeda Ventures

What does a MedTech investor, board chair, and former CEO actually look for when evaluating a company? What makes them say no before the meeting is over? In this episode of the GS MedTech Podcast, we sat down with Dr. Irit Yaniv - a MedTech veteran who has sat on almost 20 boards and has held over 15 executive roles. We covered why unmet clinical need comes before technology or team, what clinical data needs to look like to attract an acquirer, what founders consistently get wrong in board meetings, and more. 🔗 Follow Irit Yaniv:   / dr-irit-yaniv-6aab985   🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Odb9xk... ▬▬▬▬ Guided Solutions ▬▬▬▬ Guided Solutions is the global executive search partner for the MedTech industry, with a strong presence across the USA, UK, Germany, Switzerland, and Bulgaria.
