I believe that most small businesses fail because of negative cash flow rather than a lack of profitability. However, this isn’t necessarily due to poor cash flow management. A company can appear prof...

For long-term goals in order to remain an established company, going public is almost a requirement in my mind. A private company when it goes public should hit the ground running. As in, the company ...

For the Biomedical Industry and Medical devices especially, I feel like in a vacuum keeping the company private is the best thing. Being able to invest money from the company into long term projects, ...

Although I agree that each ownership structure has advantages, I find it interesting how a company's innovation strategy and risk tolerance can vary depending on whether it’s private or public. The am...

You both raise great arguments regarding how, depending on the company's resources, the FDA can either encourage or impede innovation. I agree that funding and initiatives like Breakthrough Devices be...

Regulations in medical device development are designed to protect patient safety and ensure product effectiveness, but their impact on innovation is often debated. On one hand, strict regulatory requi...

@jacobchabuel I think you give great points regarding safety and how the public would view a device if it were not tested beforehand. To answer your question, I think the FDA should create a program t...
