Dr Ivan Beckley is the Co-Founder of Suvera Health, a Google-backed virtual clinic which has raised over £6M in funding. 0:00 Intro 0:42 Ivan's Story 5:14 Making Cash? 7:07 Building Suvera 10:19 Clinician-Product Fit 11:58 Growing 14:11 Experience of Feedback 16:56 Lessons from Google 19:47 Being Black in Tech 23:20 Further Growth 25:36 How Can Someone Move Faster Than You? 28:45 Habits That Have Helped You? Ivan started Suvera whilst in Medical School at UCL — and has since expanded it from a basic app which could help GPs (Primary Care Physicians) complete medication reviews for their patients, to a full fledged virtual care platform for people with chronic illnesses. We dig deep into the lessons and habits that have helped Ivan grow Suvera — like how the obstacle is often the way — and how he leans into discomfort as a signal of future success. We speak about how he changed the minds of people who were sceptical of him, how someone building in healthcare today could move faster than him and what it’s like being a black man in healthtech.
