About this event

The digital health landscape is littered with the corpses of failed startups. What's driving this alarming trend? We can all agree it's time for a no-holds-barred analysis of the factors contributing to the "mass extinction" of digital health companies.

​Sergei Polevikov is a Ph.D.-trained data scientist, AI entrepreneur, economist, and quant investor with over 30 academic manuscripts. He's ready to dissect the role of venture capital, expose flawed business models, and reveal the complexities of navigating the healthcare industry. 

He'll draw on his extensive research, including his recent analysis of 132 publicly traded digital health companies, to provide a sobering assessment of the current landscape and offer insights for building sustainable and successful ventures.

As the author of the popular Substack newsletter “AI Health Uncut,” he'll provide brutally honest insights from his experiences as a healthcare AI startup founder, WellAI, and private equity investor.
