Built by a physician who has done it
Alison Curfman, MD MBA CEO and Founder
Meet Dr. Alison Curfman:

Practicing pediatric emergency physician

Here’s what we know:
Startups need clinical experts to build products that work.
Physicians want to use their knowledge beyond patient care.
When physicians have a pathway, they deliver extraordinary value.
Alison built Startup Physicians to create that pathway—the training, tools, and community that physicians need to work with venture and startups.
“I have been a founder, CMO, board member, advisor, consultant, and investor - and I’m passionate about taking everything I’ve learned to teach other physicians how to use their clinical expertise to make a massive impact.”
