How Purpose, Community, and Focus Help HealthTech Founders Build Companies That Last with Alex Koshykov

Building a healthtech company isn't just about creating a better product.

It's about solving the right problem, earning trust, and building meaningful relationships.

In this episode, Alex Koshykov, Co-Founder of YODD and the 2026 HealthTech Impact Award winner recipient in the category of Medical Devices and the grand prize winner for Judges’ pick, shares how his early experiences improving access to care shaped his entrepreneurial journey.

Together, we explore why founders need to define a clear niche, build authentic communities, and show up consistently before investors, customers, and partners are ready to say yes.

If you're building a healthtech company, this conversation will remind you that sustainable growth comes from focused execution, meaningful connections, and staying true to the mission that inspired you to start.
