Did you know Texas Medical Center in Houston is the largest medical center in the world? And they spend millions annually with medical device startups and innovators? Do you know how to qualify for some of it? No? Well, read on, my good friend! Meet Dr. Lance Black, our 10x keynote speakerMeet or watch him, your choice. As Medical Device Innovation Lead, Lance focuses on the resident companies of TMCx by supporting their efforts in developing innovative health care technologies. His video begins, “So, because we don’t take equity, we don’t charge, we’ve had companies come through who are your typical accelerator companies all the way to companies who are 30, 50 strong, who’ve raised their Series A, Series B, who want to use Houston as either their US launching pad or a new sales channel, or just a new market they can evaluate. When you have 10 million patient visits per year, [we’re our] own market! Which of five TMCx programs is right for you?From Dr. Black: “We have five different programs, and you can think of these programs really just at from a stage of supporting start-up companies at different stages within their life cycle. So, we focus primarily on medical device and digital health. Our partners focus on therapeutics, and diagnostics, and we’ll walk you through what each of these programs mean, and how they affect innovation.” If that’s relevant for you, listen to Lance’s presentation. He is very engaging! And visit the 10x Medical Device Conference website here for a copy of his slides. (I’ll send them to you as soon as I find them! Hey, Lucia! Where did you put them?! 🙄) +++ Next up: Our May 2019 keynote speaker will be…Former Proove Biosciences’ CEO Brian Meskin, and I applaud him for his brave keynote topic: What the F**k Happened at Proove Biosciences?!
The article was filled with false allegations, says our keynote speaker, but the damage was done. According to a website called The Truth About Proove Biosciences, disgruntled ex-employees created false allegations against Proove in 2015 and filed a whistle-blower lawsuit in 2015 (which was rejected by the government in 2016). Brian explains, “The former employees STAT News to publish the misinformation, grouping Proove in a governmental inquiry involving giants Myriad Genetics, Genomic Health, Natera, and Invitae. In June 2017, the FBI delivered a subpoena for documents, and by August 2017, Proove Biosciences was placed into court-ordered receivership.” As our May 14 keynote in San Diego (details), Brian will answer publicly the question he gets so often, “What the F**k happened at Proove Biosciences?” He’s committed to setting the record straight and helping others not fall victim to “post-truth,” “fake news,” and “misinformation.” If you’re a business executive, business owner, or entrepreneur, you’ll value this riveting keynote presentation, followed immediately by our two-hour food and drink reception. (Two drink tickets included with your registration.) +++ Hey, what are you doing today?
