Medtech Podcast Episode 056

EPISODE 056

Hashtag messages don’t often carry deep meanings or life missions, but Nim Shah’s Twitter profile – yes, there’s at least one Medtecher who tweets – pretty much says it all: #devicesforlife.

Shah latched himself onto Medtech 20 years ago, joining the prolific team of Alex Brown that produced many who moved Medtech over the next two decades.

Shah’s longest stint was at Domain Associates. But now he’s taken his talents to Fractyl Laboratories, one of the more interesting start-ups in Medtech.

In this podcast, Shah recounts the trail that led him to Fractyl, shares thoughts on JP Morgan, New England weather, and why Medtech and Biotech took such divergent paths.
