Event description

In recent years there has been a shift with medical device companies focusing more on becoming software orientated, not just about the devices they are manufacturing. The software combined with devices helps to accelerate adoption of a product, but also offers better insights or outcomes to the clinicians, hospitals, or patients.

Many medical device companies don’t have that software expertise within their existing skill sets, and many are now looking externally to build or partner for software that complements their device. The bringing together of devices brings additional regulatory requirements with Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) but also remarkable growth opportunities to bring greater impact to broader patient populations.

Sabeen Shaikh is an international healthcare business executive with nearly 20 years of experience in corporates and startups across the US, Australia, and Asia-Pacific regions. She works with governments, medical device corporates, venture capital and private equity funds, and global start-ups on new healthcare innovations, and how to get them to market.

Sabeen works with early-stage start-ups who might require help with navigating the regulatory environment, and also investors, angels, or VCs looking to do due diligence on potential investment into early-stage companies, also some executive functions. She also helps to build out commercial strategies, exploring product-market fit and global expansion opportunities, and the most meaningful impact distribution model for a particular product.

Sabeen has been working with WNT Ventures in several of our portfolio companies and we are excited to hear her insights to help NZ's healthtech companies going global.

The session will be facilitated by Maria Jose Alvarez, Investment Manager at WNT Ventures.
