ViVE Special: Sabrina Runbeck on Clinician Burnout and the Importance of Holistic Leadership in Healthcare
In this special ViVE conference episode, I’m joined by friend and visionary, the dynamic Sabrina Runbeck, Co-Founder and CEO of PulsePoint Path, for a candid and insightful conversation about the realities—and possibilities—for women founders in health tech.
Before becoming a startup leader, Sabrina faced clinician burnout firsthand. That experience became a turning point, fueling her mission to reshape healthcare from the inside out. Her story is one that so many in the industry can relate to, and her journey offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for those looking to make lasting change.
We dive into:
- How Sabrina’s burnout experience propelled her into health tech innovation
- What it’s really like to build a startup as a woman in healthcare IT
- Why women-led companies still receive less than 3% of venture capital—and how we can change that
- Practical strategies for building financial stability in early-stage startups
- The unique challenges women founders face in attracting and retaining top talent
- What VCs and angel investors must start doing differently to level the playing field
- The bold actions our industry needs to shift the narrative—and the numbers—for women-led innovation
We also get personal: Sabrina shares the habits and mindset that keep her grounded and high-performing, the strategies she’s used to overcome life’s obstacles, and the advice she’d give her younger self. Tune in!
