This interview is part of a throwback mini-series to several years ago when I chatted with Kevin Bitterman, who at the time, was with Polaris Venture Partners. He’s now a partner with Atlas Venture, but the lessons you can glean from this discussion still hold true. Namely:
- What medtech venture capitalists like to see in a startup and how these early-stage medical device companies can best position themselves for success.
- What requirements would make for an attractive IPO opportunity?
- What questions should medtech startups have already answered before approaching a potential buyer?
- And in terms of a potential exit, what is more, important for a medical device startup – clinical data or commercial traction?
