Brandon Krongold and Matt Dowling are Investment Co-ordinators at Lighter Capital — a zero dilution, revenue-based debt capital provider for growing tech and healthtech businesses. In this episode, Brandon and Matt share their story and how Lighter Capital has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into growth companies. They also explain what terms like ‘zero dilution', ‘zero equity warrants', ‘zero personal guarantees' and ‘financial covenants' mean, before comparing and contrasting those terms with traditional debt or venture capital models.   Key takeaways: Lighter Capital, based in Australia and the U.S., is the pioneer and largest provider of non-dilutive debt capital to tech start-ups in Australia and the U.S. Every year, Lighter Capital works with hundreds of businesses to grow their companies. Lighter Capital's revenue-based financing model makes it easy to access up to $1M in growth capital with zero dilution and no equity/warrants, personal guarantees or financial covenants. There aren't that many reasons why a start-up might fail, and one of those is surely not having enough resources to continuously grow momentum. Therefore, every healthtech founder should be learning what options are available to them to be able to access cash and/or resources and when to engage with those options.   Resources and links: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lighter-capital/ https://lightercapital.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-krongold-a97824158/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-dowling-a75ba611/   Connect: Listen to other episodes of Reimagining Healthcare Connect with Yianni Serpanos on LinkedIn Follow HealthTechX on LinkedIn Follow HealthTechX on Instagram Follow HealthTechX on Meetup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mindset Health provides app-based hypnotherapy programmes to help people manage and improve their health. In this episode, Chris shares how a very stressful period of his life led to him becoming interested in gut-directed hypnotherapy; we discuss the evidence backing Mindset's digital therapeutic apps; and Chris shares how evidence-based digital health can provide a set of tools for practitioners to better support their clients.   Key takeaways: Initially, Mindset started as a very simple app intending to act as a preventative. They then started working with experts in various fields and now provide research-based, highly-effective therapies. They realised that hypnosis has a huge evidence-base and is a sound medical treatment as a way to amplify different therapies. So they launched Mindset, a broad range of hypnotherapy programmes focusing on different conditions like anxiety, stress, negative thinking and sleep. Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for IBS. A Monash study found that when comparing gut-directed hypnotherapy to a low-FODMAP diet, both were roughly as effective as each other, with a 72% response rate.   Resources and links: https://www.mindsethealth.com/   Connect: Listen to other episodes of Reimagining Healthcare Connect with Yianni Serpanos on LinkedIn Follow HealthTechX on LinkedIn Follow HealthTechX on Instagram Follow HealthTechX on Meetup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ben Raphael is the Co-founder of Stake Something, an app designed to help people achieve their goals using the concept of “staking”. Staking is a method to motivate and hold people accountable for taking the necessary actions designed to help that person succeed. In this episode, Ben discusses the behavioural economics of loss aversion and present bias. He also talks about the neuroscience of taking action that leads to building a customer experience where individuals and their coaches (or healthcare providers) can define goals and actions to hold themselves accountable.   Key takeaways: Stake Something stops you procrastinating by encouraging you to set goals each week and then ‘putting something at stake' (usually money). The app then asks you if you've achieved that goal, and if ‘yes', you keep the money; if ‘no', the money goes to your chosen charity. The research behind Stake Something is based on a new branch of psychology known as ‘behavioural economics', which shows that people are more motivated by keeping what they already have, rather than attaining a goal. The app has an average 80% success rate in encouraging people in meeting their goals. Healthcare providers, which are often plagued by patient adherence challenges, could potentially use this methodology as a way of overcoming those issues.   Resources and links: https://stakesomething.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-raphael/   Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yianni-serpanos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthtechx https://www.instagram.com/my_healthtechx/ https://www.meetup.com/HealthTechX/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alan Zaia is an osteopath, and he's also the Founder and CEO of Osteohustle. Osteohustle is a business and marketing company run by a team of osteopaths which helps osteopaths achieve their own version of success. In this episode, Alan explains why he developed Osteohustle, and the digital-first approach Osteohustle takes, which enables osteopaths to build their own brands and achieve their own goals. With both the personal experience as a business owner, and now as a community leader supporting other osteopaths, Alan walks us through the typical approach, what's in the members' area, the basics of marketing, and so much more.   Key takeaways:  After Alan graduated, he realised he knew how to be an osteopath but not how to run a business. So he spent two years speaking to over 300 clinic owners learning how to run a clinic, before creating Osteohustle with the information he had learnt. Osteohustle helps osteopaths with everything they need to know to start their own clinic: from building a brand to Instagram marketing; from managing time in-clinic to building a great clinic culture.

With the risk of failure in start-ups being around 95%, it's critical for the industry and the world to learn from experience and work with advisors who have “been there, done that!” to know what works, and what's not going to work. The concept of the early adopter isn't well understood. Innovation doesn't need to be confined to producing software or a MedTech device. The innovation could be the way that the service experience is being offered to the consumer or recipient of healthcare services.    Resources and links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roxiemooney/ https://www.legacy-dna.com/about-us   Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yianni-serpanos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthtechx https://www.instagram.com/my_healthtechx/ https://www.meetup.com/HealthTechX/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unusually for a BNPL provider, Openpay appointed a Head of Healthcare which was a clear signal of the importance of overcoming and supporting some of the barriers and issues that exist in healthcare. Consumers and customers want transparency, they don't want interest-bearing products that are going to shock them at a later point. Openpay is committed to providing a responsible way for consumers to get what they want and need.   Resources and links: https://www.opy.com/au/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-grant-a6037066/   Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yianni-serpanos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthtechx https://www.instagram.com/my_healthtechx/ https://www.meetup.com/HealthTechX/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim Wilson is the CEO and Co-founder of Snapforms, an online form builder that allows healthcare providers to create, share and collect data to support healthcare workflows or healthcare marketing. From the simple to the complex, the humble form is an integral and often overlooked part of any patient's healthcare journey. In this episode, Tim shares how Snapforms has digitised the form to support digital-first healthcare services in any way, shape or size.   Key takeaways: Intake forms, patient consents and initial assessments are fairly generic concepts within the healthcare industry from a digital standpoint. There's a tremendous opportunity to build out structured touchpoints so that between and after every appointment there's an ability to design your own customer experience as a healthcare professional. In a modern world, we're increasingly interacting with clients in a digital way, and the usual points of access such as websites, online booking portals are often the start of a healthcare service experience. If a system is designed end-to-end in a seamlessly integrated, branded and professional way, it promotes a great customer experience. However, too often we see a disjointed and clunky use of systems that make it harder for a client to choose a service provider.   Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yianni-serpanos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthtechx https://www.instagram.com/my_healthtechx/ https://www.meetup.com/HealthTechX/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
