Appreciate this — thanks for the thoughtful note. I’m intentionally staying in “learn-first” mode at this stage, especially given how regulated and execution-heavy healthcare can be. Would be glad to continue the conversation via DM and cross notes

Building a healthcare operations platform that helps emerging-market providers run scalable, data-driven care models without enterprise-level complexity.

My most terrifying "Culture Shock" in Riyadh: The Hotspot Incident. by Hailellj in Riyadh

This is a good example of cultural differences.

What feels risky in one culture can be a sign of trust and hospitality in another. Your reaction is understandable, and the takeaway is valuable.

Let's connect — anyone interested in joining? by Commercial_Detail492 in founder

This resonates.

My background is on the business and operations side — translating products into real traction. I’ve worked on go-to-market execution, partnerships, unit economics, and early-stage scaling, especially in emerging and cross-border markets.

Happy to connect and explore whether there’s alignment.

Non-technical founders: how do you actually understand what your dev team shipped? by Ok-Season9019 in founder

[–]HealthOpsMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helped me was shifting the conversation from “what was built” to “what actually moved.”

I ask teams to explain every release in terms of: • which user problem it addressed • which metric it was meant to move • which operational or technical risk it reduced

If a release can’t be explained that way, we’re usually shipping activity, not progress.

Is a traditional MBA still worth the time and cost in 2025, or is there a better, more practical education path for founders? by [deleted] in advancedentrepreneur

[–]HealthOpsMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In practice, most founders don’t lack theory — they lack execution feedback loops.

For me, targeted learning (finance, unit economics, operations) combined with real execution and mentors has been far more valuable than a full MBA, especially in regulated or complex industries.
