Why Doctors Win at Healthcare Entrepreneurship - Curology

In this episode, we speak with Dr. David Lortscher, founder of Curology and a board-certified dermatologist, about building the first telehealth platform to combine custom compounded medications with direct-to-consumer acne care, growing it to $200 million in revenue and 5 million patients treated. He shares how he licensed himself in all 50 states, drove consultation costs to $5, and built a 50,000-square-foot compounding pharmacy from scratch. We also explore his broader thesis on physician entrepreneurship, including why doctors are statistically and structurally positioned to build the most valuable companies in healthcare.
