/ About this event
THE GTM WALL NOBODY WARNS YOU ABOUT Getting Paid in Health Tech
Health Tech is getting crowded, fast. AI made it easier than ever to build and ship, so more smart, credentialed people are entering the space with ideas that solve real problems. But a crowded market doesn't reward the best idea — it rewards the founder who executes.
🎯 How This Works No inspiration-only panels here. Every conversation Summer runs is built around one rule: you leave with something stealable — something you can actually do or review the second you're back at your desk. And the panel isn't the main event. It's the setup. Once the mics go off, you'll break into a conversation with whichever panelist matches your actual gap — because the real magic happens in the after-convo, not the stage.
🧱 The Wall Fundraising is selling. Closing your first hospital or health-system contract is selling. Getting reimbursed from insurance companies is selling. Three different rooms, one skill nobody teaches you in med school, grad school, or engineering school.
🤝 Wherever You Are Held virtually, so getting to LA Tech Week doesn't mean a flight or an hour in traffic — join from your desk, your kitchen, or wherever you actually are.
🙋 Stay After Panel conversation will be recorded. Breakouts after are just for the room — unrecorded, real talk.
🎙 The Panel Summer Poletti — Host & Moderator, Chief Sales Strategist at Rise of Us. She designs panels for what happens after they end, not for the panel itself.
Kruti Baires — Founder, TheSprintFit. Gets health-tech founders capital- and diligence-ready before they're ever in the room asking for money.
Robert Wegner — BW & Co Consulting. Specializes in non-dilutive funding for health-tech founders — the paths to capital that don't cost you equity.
Eric Hazzard, PhD — Researcher turned GTM operator, who's navigated the insurance and reimbursement maze from the inside.
