Here are the highlights of our conversation with our guest:

There are so many problems in health care and so many ways to improve and what Jordan finds cool about all of this is the fact that anyone can do something about it. He sees a two-fold problem: first, that the cure doesn’t exist and second, that it exists but the patient’s don’t know that it does. This is where he comes in and this is what his passion is all about: he wants to get people to the care that is accessible and affordable, every time.

As a Jewish kid who grew up with a hunger to help people, Jordan tried being a mathematician, a scientist, a geologist but still found them wanting as they do not touch lives as directly as he wanted it to be. He took the leap, quit his job, and was in the middle of nowhere and for some reason, he decided to work in a software company and got rejected to all of them – 100% rejection. But he persisted and from there, he got connected in health care, Stroll was born and the rest is history.

In pitching, talk to investors and paint them a picture of the current nightmare that people have to go through then tell them that you are attempting to accomplish. If they advise you to try something simpler, do a full stop and tell them that you have already done it. It is important to have your data all lined up to be able to speak intelligently about what you are trying to present.

Raising money is the main thing that Jordan is focusing on at this juncture and after this, he is out to prove the technology. He sees a lot of opportunity and he is looking at building distribution partners on his way to solving the problem that he sees.

Healthcare is tough and for them to raise capital, Jordan shares that you can start by identifying your targets well. After that, read an article that they wrote, say something insightful, follow up, and get them in an in-person meeting.

The future of Stroll including seamless patient, doctor and back office experiences and the pieces that they are working on at this time.
