Podcast: The MedTech Startup (August 2024)

For those curious about Vivifi’s origin story and early traction, the MedTech Startup podcast offers a concise primer.  In the August 2 2024 episode, host Giovanni Lauricella (Lifeblood) interviewed CEO Tushar Sharma about the groundwork of Vivifi Medical.  Tushar discussed the hurdles faced, the role of mentorship and networking, and his transition from engineer to company founder.  The conversation provides context on why we chose a function‑preserving approach to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and how we’re building a board that balances clinical, regulatory and commercial experience.
