Listen "Building an Innovation Machine"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Lisa Anderson, Co-Founder and CEO of Paragonix Technologies is our Guru today. Dr. Anderson has not only identified a massive gap in healthcare but has also revolutionized the field of organ transplantation. Her journey began at Harvard Medical School, where a shocking experience with a damaged, frozen human pancreas in an old-school lunch cooler filled with crushed ice sparked a life-changing realization. The antiquated methods of organ transportation were unacceptable, and Dr. Anderson knew something had to change. This pivotal moment led her to dedicate her career to addressing the inefficiencies in organ transplantation. The result? Paragonix Technologies, a company now boasting five FDA-cleared products, serving the top transplant centers in the country, and trusted with transporting over 40% of donor hearts in the United States. In this episode, Dr. Anderson shares her insights on how to build out innovation machines and why partnering with a venture group that can take you to the next level is so crucial.
