I don't think you can separate these two things in medtech/hardware. It's almost impossible to build a product without money, and you certainly can't bootstrap

I don't think you can separate these two things in medtech/hardware. It's almost impossible to build a product without money, and you certainly can't bootstrap this. > Like how do you get the data to build the product that makes the product worth buying in the first place? Our path: 1. Raise the money. 2. Build a better prototype (let's call it a 'data collector'). 3. Create datasets from the new prototype through studies/clinical trials. 4. Apply ML. 5. Develop the next iteration with the newly built models. 6. Profit time.
