/ About this event
THE GTM WALL NOBODY WARNS YOU ABOUT Getting Paid in Health Tech
🎯 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.
Start by dropping your name, company and LinkedIn in the chat. No pitching, just connecting. Then the panel. Then a breakout room where you ask your questions directly to the speakers. Because the panel is the setup, and the after-convo is where the real magic happens.
🧱 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 The panel conversation will be recorded. The breakout room afterward is just for the room — unrecorded and open. Stay to the end for the prize package download.
🎙 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.
