ABOUT DEREK KOCH
I help healthcare founders and teams build the right product from day zero.Through customer discovery, design sprints, and rapid prototyping, I make sure you\'re solving theright problem before you\'ve burned runway building the wrong solution. I\'ve done this for 20 yearsacross healthcare companies at every stage, and I teach the process so teams can own itthemselves.I speak engineer, customer, and compliance. I\'ve architected solutions, closed enterprise deals, and navigated SOC 2 and HIPAA. That range means I see around corners that teams often miss. Former clients call me a \'trusted advisor\'; and the \'steady hand\' who makes teams better - not just products.I move fast by leveraging AI and existing tools to prototype in days, not months. You getsenior-level thinking at startup-friendly economics.The proof: 69% CAGR at my last two companies. Teams that scaled 4x. 2M+ patients served. Butwhat I\'m most proud of is helping founders get it right from the start.Currently taking on fractional 0-1 engagements and exploring Head of Product roles at early-stagehealthcare companies.Let\'s connect: email me at d••••••••@gmail.com or book an appointment at http://derekkoch.com
