1Launch Blueprint
A complete profile of your expertise, interests and advisory archetype.
The problem
You have the expertise.
You don't yet know what it's worth.
Years of clinical training, systems knowledge and firsthand insight into patient care are valuable to startups. Most physicians cannot yet explain that value in a way that wins a paid engagement.
- What do you call the thing you do that isn't "being a doctor" but makes you invaluable anyway?
- Which of your skills solve a startup's problem?
- What advisory work would you enjoy doing?
That's where this tool starts
- Build your value proposition. Pulls in your CV and experience, translating clinical, systems and leadership skills into language startups recognize as valuable.
- Identify your archetype. Maps you against real physician-advisor archetypes so you know which work would bring you joy.
- Search the market. After you build your value proposition, the outreach and the paid work follow.

FAQ
Common questions.
Is this worth the price?
Compare it to the alternative: months of unfocused networking, or paying for one-on-one positioning work. The Toolkit gives you a complete system for less than the cost of a single coaching session. The upside is real: physician advisory to digital health and medtech runs up to about $500/hr at the high end, and fractional Chief Medical Officer roles typically pay $5,000–$20,000/month depending on scope, often plus equity. You will not necessarily get there on day one, but the most important step is getting started.
I'm not techy. Will I be able to do this?
Yes. The setup takes a few clicks, and we walk you through every step. If you can send an email, you can do this.
I don't have much time.
Start to finish, the whole build takes about 2 hours. Do it in one sitting or spread it across a few days.
Will this lead to paid work?
The Toolkit helps you build your pipeline and your outreach process, the foundation every successful advisor needs. It cannot guarantee a contract on day one, but it gives you everything you need to start messaging founders within a week.
You have the expertise.
Now you have the pathway.
