Episode Synopsis

Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors -----We are back with Dina Titkova, Senior Manager at UNSW Founders and the original programme manager of the Health 10x Accelerator, to unpack how Australia’s most promising medical innovation actually becomes a startup. Dina explains why the classic three-month accelerator model does not work in healthcare, and why real progress relies on deep expertise, patient capital, and the right commercial and regulatory guidance at the right time.In this episode, Dina walks us through the hidden pathway from research discovery to investable company. From grants and non-dilutive funding, to prototyping support, to connecting founders with key opinion leaders, she shows how UNSW helps researchers and clinicians avoid the costly mistakes that slow down most med tech ventures. We also touch on the fast-growing opportunities in women’s health, cardiovascular disease and precision medicine, and why these areas are now attracting serious global interest.If you are a doctor looking to invest beyond property, or simply curious about how health startups get de-risked and scaled, this conversation will give you a clear window into the future of medical innovation in Australia.-----TIME STAMPS:00:00 Hook/Intro01:45 Dina Titkova's Role and UNSW Founders06:41 The Role of Accelerators in Deep Tech12:49 Case Studies of Health 10x Program Successes25:21 Challenges and Opportunities in Women's Health Innovation36:56 The Future of Health Innovation and Global Collaboration42:40 Conclusion/Outro-----SHOW NOTES LINKShttps://ifdgroup.com.au/ https://doctorbi.com.au/ https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dinatitkova/https://unswfounders.com/----- LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast ----- FIND US HERE Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors ----- DISCLAIMER The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.
