The February 4, 2016 online edition of MedTech Intelligence features a MEDdesign guest column, Want to Be a Medical Device Entrepreneur? by Scott Phillips, Founder and President of StarFish Medical. Phillips draws upon his interviews with successful serial medical device entrepreneurs to identify common success factors and traits. He explains, “I began assembling data from people I identified through Google or LinkedIn searches. I put together an early and validated set of 50 entrepreneurs who had started at least two medical device companies and gathered information about their education, careers, patents, companies and other interesting facts.”
