What is Mentorship in Healthcare Startups?
Mentorship is a crucial element in the success of healthcare startups. As a mentor, you will offer your expertise, guidance, and advice to entrepreneurs seeking to navigate the complex and fast-evolving healthcare industry. Healthcare startups often face challenges such as regulatory hurdles, market fit, and product development, and your insights can help them overcome these obstacles.

- Innovating in ways that meet both patient needs and healthcare providers' requirements.
- Developing sustainable business models in a competitive and often conservative market.
