Page 3: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

Not just any Geeks

Page 4: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

And we don’t control anything

Not the PayPal Mafia

Page 5: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

We do our jobs and see problems

Page 6: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

And Imagine Solutions

Page 7: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

Healthcare Innovation is more difficult due to regulations and aversion to adoption

…and predicting Success in Healthcare is difficult…

PROBLEM

which constrains capital, which limits innovation, which makes healthcare less effective

Page 8: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

And our solution isn’t usually a widget

@alexbfair#MEDX

Page 9: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

It doesn’t usually get sold to consumers (patients)

@alexbfair#MEDX

You generally need an expert to install it

Page 11: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

And no one, especially the patient thinks they should pay very much for it

Page 12: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

And it costs like a billion dollars to do anything

Page 13: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

Which YOU have No Say in

NIH Grants, $30.9

Pharma R&D Investment, $49.5

Foundations / SBIR, $3.0

Venture Capital, $8.5

Approximately $100B is Invested to fund Healthcare Innovation in U.S. Annually

Sources of Funding For Healthcare Innovation – 2011 ($B)

Venture Capital

Of the $8.5B invested in 2011, 19% ($1.6 billion) was invested in first or seed round investments and 81% ($6.9 billion) was invested in later stage projects

Of the $8.5B invested in 2011, 14% ($1.2 billion) was invested in healthcare IT investments and 86% ($7.3 billion) was invested in life sciences

Excludes: Angel investments, No detailed backup to foundation capital invested in early stage projects.

Foundations

A variety of foundations offer funding for early stage healthcare innovation, mostly focused around disease groups

In 2011, Susan G Komen For The Cure, one of the larger research funding not-for-profits had 2011 revenue of $358 million, but after fundraising expenses and administrative expenses only spent $283M million on programs (79% margin)

NIH Grants

Largest institutes are the National Cancer Institute which consumes 16% of NIH funding ($5.1 billion) and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Disease which consumes 10% of the NIH funding ($3.0 billion)

NIH budget expected to contract due to government debt pressures and expected decline in national spending

Excludes angel investment; approximates foundations

Because people will die if you get it wrong

Page 15: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

But they also die if you don’t try

@alexbfair#MEDX

Page 16: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

And we are not powerless

Page 17: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

When People Stand UpRevolutions Happen

When citizens get involved and activated, massive change is enabled. Crowdsourcing innovation and Crowdfunding their ideas is changing the world.

Page 18: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

What Happens When You Engage Crowds that Care

• Funding – Investors look for traction among KOLs and constituent institutions and patients

• Partners – Where Corporate Innovation Officers shop• Publicity – weekly News Stories and three television

interviews in our first six months• Community – Feedback, Clinical Centers, Trials,

Support, Beta Testers, Distributors, and more

…but this is just the beginning

1. How to Code a Revolution in Healthcare

@alexbfair#MEDX

Page 20: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

1: Get a Crazy Idea

…that just might work

@fredtotter

#MEDX

Page 21: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

2. Run it by some friends(designers, doctors, programmers, nurses, artists, investors…)

…until you prove it does

Page 22: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

3. Ask a crowd that cares to back it

Page 23: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

…and they ask a crowd,

Page 24: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

…and so on,

Page 25: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

…and so on,

Page 26: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

…and so on,

Page 27: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

And then…

You may actually get a hospital to sign up

But who cares?

Page 28: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

Because you already have:

Customers

Partners

and Funding

Page 29: Alex Fair: Igniting a Healthcare Revolution

And who wants a

term sheet?

When you can have a bill of sale?
