Former pediatric nurse and Oath Care co-founder Michelle Stephens Ph.D. joins Varsity Ventures for an unfiltered breakdown of what it actually takes to build in health tech.
Michelle talks about her academic past, how she jumped from nursing to a startup, and what she learned the hard way about venture capital, product timing, and selling a healthcare vision in a world that moves faster than medicine can.
Now the Chief Revenue Officer at Felt, Michelle explains why the next wave of care won’t happen in clinics at all – it’ll happen inside the apps people already use every day. She pulls back the curtain on what’s broken, what founders get wrong, and where AI fits (and absolutely doesn’t).
If you want a real look at what building in healthcare actually demands – not the glossy version – this episode is worth your time. You can follow Michelle and her work on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-michelle-stephens/ or got https://www.feltclinic.com/.
