Galen AI's tactic

Galen AI · B2B · AI software for healthcare

Turn a problem you keep solving as a consultant into a product

Bootstrapped; acquired after ~1.5 years, soon after its first enterprise customer

While consulting in pharmacy/healthcare, the same problem kept appearing ('This is a product, not a consulting engagement'), so he built Galen AI around it, B2B-focused, bootstrapped. Sold to CaryRx, which shared an enterprise customer, once Galen landed its first true enterprise customer (healthcare enterprise deals typically >$250K/yr).
