AI Investor Forum: Gus Tai on AI in Healthcare (Part 5)

Sramana Mitra: So, Gus, could you also discuss Joanna Strober’s company that you have invested in and have been tracking for a while? I think it’s a good case study to discuss in this context.

Gus Tai: Absolutely. The company is called Midi Health, and I was a seed investor with Midi.

Sramana Mitra: Yes. On the process side, we’ve had a company become quite successful in the program. It is bootstrapped. We looked at raising money, but eventually, it was going fine as a bootstrapped company. I think it continues to bootstrap. It’s called CliniOps.
