Build a healthcare startup with us At Red Sky, in partnership with Tar Heel Capital Pathfinder, we build technology companies addressing real challenges in healthcare. We are looking for doctors and medical experts who want to go beyond traditional clinical practice and play a meaningful role in creating a new product, care model, or medical technology. We are not looking for someone to simply review a finished solution. We are looking for a core partner who will take ownership of the medical direction and help build the company from an early stage. The exact scope of the role will depend on the project stage, your experience, and your preferred level of involvement. Your role • co-create the product concept and define its clinical application, • identify and validate the real needs of patients and healthcare professionals, • translate clinical knowledge into product requirements and workflows, • support the design and evaluation of pilots and clinical validation, • represent the medical perspective in discussions with partners, investors, and institutions, • help shape the company’s medical strategy and expert team as the venture grows. Who we are looking for • have a medical degree and practical experience in healthcare, • have a strong understanding of the challenges within their specialty or area of the healthcare system, • can evaluate solutions from the perspectives of clinicians, patients, and healthcare organizations, • are open to technology, innovation, and working in an early-stage environment, • want to influence the direction of the product rather than act solely as an external advisor, • can communicate complex medical knowledge clearly to non-medical teams, • are ready to take ownership of the venture’s medical and clinical direction. Possible collaboration models We do not expect every partnership to follow the same structure. Depending on the project and the level of involvement, we may offer: • a Medical Co-founder role with equity, • a combination of financial compensation and equity, • a long-term medical advisory role, • part-time involvement during the validation and product development stages, • the opportunity to expand your role as the company grows. What we offer • the opportunity to co-build a healthcare company from the ground up, • meaningful influence over the problem, product, and business direction, • access to an experienced product, technology, and research team, • support from a venture builder and an investment fund, • resources to conduct research, validation, and pilot projects, • a flexible collaboration model and level of involvement, • the possibility of equity and a long-term leadership role in the company. What happens next? We will start with a conversation about your experience, the healthcare challenges you consider most important, and your preferred form of involvement. If we see a strong match, we will introduce you to a venture aligned with your expertise. We may also explore the potential to build a new solution around a problem you know from your clinical practice. You do not need to come to us with a ready-made startup idea. We are looking for clinical expertise, the ability to ask the right questions, and the ambition to improve an important part of healthcare. Would you like to use your medical experience to create something that could genuinely improve treatment, diagnostics, or patient care? Let’s talk. Originally posted on Himalayas
