Ram Krishnan, a seasoned technology executive with a background in systems engineering from UVA, GE leadership, and several SaaS ventures, joined Valant (valant.io) in 2020 to steer the company through its next growth phase.  His team built a “system of record” that serves as the base operating platform for medical practices—handling everything from patient intake, appointment scheduling, and payment collection to clinical documentation, claim submission, and follow‑up care—essentially automating the entire patient lifecycle and positioning the software as the practice's essential OS. His leadership philosophy is anchored by two recurring nuggets: Peter Drucker's maxim that “culture beats strategy for lunch,” and a relentless focus on the core problem being solved, whether in hiring, process design, or technology investments, echoing lean‑startup principles.

Cancer drugs cost more than ever, yet survival benefits are often modest—and in some cases, patients can't even access the care that already exists. After losing his father, Steve Jobs, to pancreatic cancer, Reed Jobs committed himself to making this the last generation that loses parents to the disease.Reed now leads Yosemite, a venture fund spun out of Emerson Collective in 2023, alongside Investor Matt Bettonville. Yosemite pairs life sciences and digital health investments with a grantmaking model to accelerate cancer research and ensure breakthroughs actually reach patients.We cover:

In this episode, I'm joined by three exceptional members of our Healthtech Marketing Network - Mariana Small, Elena Putilina, and Amy Swanson - who spearheaded our first-ever AI Cohort project. Together, they surveyed over 100 healthtech marketing leaders to understand how our community is actually using AI in their day-to-day work, moving beyond the hype to examine practical applications and real challenges.The research revealed some fascinating insights about where we stand as an industry. While 93% of respondents are using AI in some capacity, very few organizations have successfully integrated AI into their core workflows or developed strategic roadmaps for implementation. Perhaps most telling, almost no one is measuring AI's impact beyond basic productivity metrics, creating a significant gap between leadership's enthusiasm and actual business value demonstration.While leadership teams are generally supportive and see potential value, they're looking for AI to drive demand generation and performance improvements - not just cost savings. However, marketers are struggling with workflow integration, tool selection overwhelm, and demonstrating clear ROI. The community has identified four key areas where they need help: AI-based search optimization, future skills development, creating repeatable workflows, and establishing governance frameworks.This research confirms we're still in the early stages of AI adoption in healthtech marketing, but it also provides a clear roadmap for moving from experimentation to strategic implementation. The findings show that while the enthusiasm is there, we need to focus on building proper foundations.Key Topics Covered"(00:00:00) Introduction""(00:01:00) Meet the AI Cohort Team""(00:05:00) State of AI Usage in Healthtech Marketing""(00:07:00) Most Popular AI Tools and Applications""(00:09:00) The Measurement Challenge""(00:12:00) Management Expectations vs. Reality""(00:16:00) Organizational Bottlenecks and Barriers""(00:18:00) The Need for AI Champions""(00:19:00) What the Community Wants Next""(00:22:00) Governance and Ethics Considerations""(00:23:00) Personas, Sales Enablement, and Search""(00:26:00) Strategic vs. Tactical AI Implementation""(00:30:00) Closing Advice from the Research Team""(00:33:00) Key Takeaways and Webinar Announcement"Join us for an in depth webinar covering the AI Cohort Research on October 8th at 1 pm ET.If you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

AI companies are hitting growth milestones in record time—some reaching $100 million in revenue in just two years. But while this pace feels familiar in tech, healthcare has always been slower to adopt new tools. That may finally be changing.Kent Bennett and Sofia Guerra of Bessemer Venture Partners join Steve Kraus to unpack findings from Bessemer's State of AI 2025 report and what they mean for healthcare. From “supernovas” and “shooting stars” to the rise of systems of action, they explore how AI is reshaping not only software businesses but also the way doctors, health systems, and patients interact with technology.We cover:

Welcome to a fascinating exploration of the hidden legal battles shaping tomorrow's technology. Predictive algorithms have become the crystal balls of modern business, forecasting everything from home prices to healthcare costs, but they're also becoming the center of high-stakes courtroom dramas worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Across the globe, from Texas courtrooms to China's Supreme People's Court, judges and juries are answering a profound question: who owns the right to predict the future? The House Canary v. Amrock case resulted in a staggering $600 million verdict over real estate valuation algorithms, while Alibaba secured a 30 million RMB judgment against a company that allegedly scraped its predictive marketing tools. Even industrial applications aren't immune, with companies like Shen Group successfully protecting predictive design software for machinery components.What makes these cases particularly compelling is how they're redefining intellectual property law. Courts are now recognizing that AI model weights, the mathematical parameters tuned during training, qualify as protectable trade secrets. Data pipelines, prediction engines, and algorithmic structures have all received similar protection. The real drama often unfolds when employees change companies, raising thorny questions about what constitutes general expertise versus proprietary knowledge that belongs to the former employer.Healthcare prediction presents especially valuable territory, with ongoing battles between companies like Qruis and Epic Systems, or Milliman and Gradient AI, demonstrating how patient data forecasting creates immensely valuable intellectual property.
