I was about to colour the company all sorts of sceptical until I read about these two founders. A lot of work + very young. Very well done indeed.

- naturalgradient 9y agoI don't understand. Why is being young a good reason not to be sceptical? Wouldn't being young in a healthcare startup be all the more reason to be sceptical? Assuming that there is a distribution wherein some industries and products are simply better tackled by founders with substantial experience, e.g. by conducting research in the area, practising medicine, consulting on healthcare, .. That is not to say you cannot successful being young in healthcare, I just don't see any prior reason why being young would be an advantage here, unlike in e.g. social media.
