In this episode of Built in America, host Sam Mahmood sits down with Andrew Lacy, founder and CEO of Prenuvo, to explore his journey from practicing law in Australia to building a groundbreaking health tech company in Silicon Valley. Andrew shares how Prenuvo is reshaping the future of preventive healthcare through whole-body MRI scans and why the current model of reactive “sick care” is due for disruption.
He discusses the challenges of raising capital for transformative ideas, the importance of building a strong team culture, and how resilience and wellness play crucial roles in entrepreneurship. Andrew also reflects on what it means to be an entrepreneur in a high-pressure ecosystem and the impact of staying mission-driven in the face of uncertainty.
Join us for a candid conversation about healthcare innovation, building a business with purpose, and what it takes to lead a company that’s putting health back into the hands of consumers.
