Episode 47: The Story of Butterfly, Imaging Technology & A $1.25 Billion Valuation đŠ
This week, James is joined by Darius Shahida, Head of Growth & Chief of Staff at the $1.25 billion valued ultrasound company, Butterfly Network. Darius helps lead fundraising, global health, commercial and strategic efforts. In 2018, and while a student at HBS, Darius raised $250 million dollars for Butterfly Network - the largest medical imaging raise in history.

He speaks five languages, holds three passports and has lived and worked in New York, London, Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo.
