In this episode of Medsider Radio, we had an engaging conversation with Marissa Fayer, CEO of DeepLook Medical. This startup is developing AI-powered diagnostic tools that help radiologists detect cancerous lesions in dense tissue.
 
Marissa has over two decades of experience as a medtech executive, entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist, spanning companies like Hologic and Olympus. She’s the founder of HERhealthEQ, a non-profit focused on advancing global women's health, and an entrepreneur-in-residence at Graybella Capital and Goddess Gaia Ventures. She’s a TEDx Speaker, a UCSC Miller Center Social Entrepreneur Fellow, and winner of the 2022 First in FemTech award.
 
In this interview, Marissa talks about the basics of product development, how to build iteratively, tips on identifying ideal regulatory pathways, and how she picks her advisors and board members.
