Join us as we host Eric Heinz, KSM ’22 for a discussion on how MedTech founders can build companies with strategic value and long-term exit potential in mind. Drawing on 25+ years of experience across product development, commercialization, and M&A leadership at companies including Smith+Nephew and Titan Medical, Eric will share what strategic acquirers actually value, common mistakes that make startups harder to acquire, and how founders can build capital-efficient MedTech companies. The session will also explore when startups should engage with strategic partners and what operator-led investors look for at the pre-seed and seed stage.
