EXPLORE THE PROGRAM

You already know you're capable of more.

You've built deep clinical expertise, but something is missing.

You crave a creative outlet—a way to apply your knowledge to the systemic gaps you see every day.

You see how things could be better.

The Startup Physicians Launchpad has been nothing short of transformational—actionable insights, strategic frameworks, and high-level mentorship tailored specifically for clinicians.
— Dr. Ewelina

This is where most physicians get stuck.

You don’t know how to break into startups or venture.
And you don’t have the appetite—or the capital—to launch a company on the side.

You want to be part of creating solutions, but no one has shown you:

  • A path beyond the exam room.

  • A way to shape solutions at scale.

  • A way to earn more money as a doctor—without generating more RVUs.

You were meant for more.

By stepping into advisory work, you gain:

  • Influence — Move from “provider” to strategist, where your clinical expertise shapes decisions.

  • Purpose — Trade rinse-and-repeat days for intellectually engaging problem-solving.

  • Income — Build a predictable second revenue stream with a clear path forward.

Within two months of completing the program, I had already engaged in conversations with multiple startups and VC firms—something I wouldn’t have imagined prior to the course.

A woman with long, blonde hair smiling and standing with arms crossed in a hallway with glass walls.

Through her work with numerous venture firms, she has learned EXACTLY what industry needs from physicians.
