Episode 13: The Story of Mentorship To Turn An Idea Into Reality


Listen Later

James is joined by Will Stoddart, a Medical and Tech CEO, with experience founding, growing and scaling Werlabs, a rapidly expanding healthcare internet business based out of Stockholm, Sweden. Prior to Werlabs, Will was a founder, along with his twin brother, at Haploflow; focusing on helping individuals make decisions based on data from wearables. Will has experience across software engineering, medicine and finance - plus a few war stories on founding, raising financing and managing very different cultures: think medicine vs product vs marketing. Currently, Will is founding a new consumer healthcare company that is focusing on monitoring, educating and treating age-related decline in functionality.

They cover Will's background, overcoming tragedy, his companies, motivations and passion to solve problems in health. Will gives a practical guide to starting a company, setting up a board, how to streamline the process, mentoring and being mentored and also explains why the tech ecosystem in Stockholm is so powerful.
