In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Dhruv Vig, founder and CEO of Langer Holdings, to discuss how AI is revolutionizing health tech investing. Dhruv shares how legacy investment models are failing to capture the true potential of health tech, the pitfalls of misclassification in ETFs, and why active management and expert-driven curation are the future. Discover how curiosity and a drive to challenge the status quo can lead to industry-changing innovation.

 

Key Takeaways:

• [15:02] - Active Management and Expert Curation Are Essential
  "You can't trust an algorithm to this. You have to have experts... to clean up the public markets and set the industry standard."
  
  
• [3:17] - Curiosity Drives Disruption
  "Insatiable curiosity... that's what drives me. I can't sit still. You gotta keep learning, gotta keep asking questions."
