Fair warning: Healthcare has a long sales cycle, is heavily regulated and is difficult to break into as an outsider. Generally you'll want someone on the founding team with a significant healthcare background and connections (even better if they're a MD). Once you have found a way to sell you'll find that the competition is fairly minimal compared to other industries.

Totally agree. All the problems I listed are quite hard and will monetize slowly. Sales are really long; the company I am a part of had an all star founding team with a history of exits so they gots lot of funding which helped give them a cash cushion to deal with the long sales cycles.
