Cris De Luca on Scaling Ventures, Healthcare Innovation, and Why Cannolis Matter
Jim Joyce and I are back, continuing our tradition of staying consistently inconsistent and meticulously unproduced . In episode #148 of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, we chatted with Cris De Luca, Partner at Sanofi Ventures. (I still can’t believe we haven’t had him on before, especially since we go to the same barber
)
Cris shared his incredible journey through his own startup, healthcare innovation, corporate venturing, and the evolving dynamics of digital health—but we covered a lot more, including:
How to scale ventures with patient empowerment at the core
The role of corporate venturing in transforming healthcare
Swinging for the fences
Key insights on building sustainable, scalable businesses
The importance of seeking mentorship early and often
