Frank Baylis and Kris Shah—Co-Founders Baylis Medical Company| Bootstrapping Your Way to Success [Ep.17]

In episode 17 of ReBootHealth, I speak with Frank Baylis and Kris Shah, co-founders of Baylis Medical Technologies. These two founders are clearly operating experts—no hype, no exaggeration--just hyper-focused on executing their way to a great business. The most interesting aspect of this show was chatting to two co-founders who started and ‘finished’ running a business successfully. We jump through several topics including pivoting medical ventures, the benefits of bootstrapping, the changing landscape for medical device ventures and thoughts on what Canada needs to work on to help ventures do better on the national and global stage. If you’re just starting out as a founder, I’m sure you’ll be able to appreciate the operational expertise of these two guests. Certainly, proved to me that we have amazing founders and operators in this country if we just give them a chance. As always, I hope you find the episode valuable.
