About this episode

“So the tools that are being used behind the scenes that are hopefully reducing administration costs and that will hopefully trickle down to our costs as health care consumers. But I think where it really gets exciting is applying AI to what we call personalized medicine.”
In this episode, we’re joined by Halle Tecco, founder, investor, professor, and author of the new book Massively Better Healthcare. Hallie has done it all: she founded and sold women’s health company Natalist in under three years, launched one of the first venture funds focused on healthcare tech, invested in over 50 healthcare startups, and now teaches at Columbia Business School while advising the next generation of founders.Halle shares the lessons she wishes every healthcare innovator knew from day one—why great ideas often stall, how to de-risk a business without dimming your ambition, and what truly separates breakthroughs from dead ends. We dive into her journey of publishing a book without an agent, why healthcare’s biggest challenges can actually become a founder’s moat, and the four emotional stages every entrepreneur cycles through while building a company.

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
