Welcome to Our Medtech Talk Podcast Channel

Too often we define the Medtech sector by the number of dollars raised, IPOs helped or companies sold. But the focus neglects the very foundation of the sector - the People. Join the Medtech Talk Podcast each week to hear from entrepreneurs, investors and executives who spend their days developing the tools that make sick people well and health care more efficient.



Norris Sees Medtech Upswing Ahead

January 28, 2018

 

Hard to find anyone working harder than Jonathan Norris to help us see the forest for the trees. Jon is a fixture at many conferences including – thankfully – the upcoming Medtech Conference on May 31. But we wanted to get to his insights early. In this Medtech Talk Podcast, Jon and I discuss his report, “Trends in Healthcare Investments and Exits 2018.” Overview: Jon shares some positive views for Medtech. Good to hear. Surprises: I didn’t know Jon’s initial career choice. Regrets: I didn’t get to ask how his pitching arm is doing. Jon still plays ball on a regular basis. Enjoy the podcast!
