In this episode of Medsider Radio, we’re talking with Mike Kujak, the President & CEO of Francis Medical.Mike breaks down Francis’ innovative new water vapor technologies, and provides some advice about developing the alpha & beta versions of a medtech product. We’ll also discuss how to navigate the early-stage regulatory environment, and hear Mike’s views on how best to plan & execute a clinical research strategy.Then we’ll discuss fundraising strategies and ask Mike what’s next for Francis Medical as the company plans for its second-generation development program. But first, a bit more on Mike's background...Most recently, Mike was the Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President of International Markets for NxThera. Prior to that, he was the Vice President and General Manager of the Prostate Health business unit of American Medical Systems.Mike received his MBA from the University of St. Thomas and has a Bachelor of Science degree in physics and chemistry from the University of South Dakota.Before we jump into the conversation, I wanted to mention a few things:First, I’m trying something a little different with this next series of Medsider interviews, which will be focused entirely on stories from some of the most compelling medtech and healthtech startups across the globe. Here's the deal: I’ve asked these founders and CEOs to answer a series of questions, which I’ve converted to audio stories with the help of some professional voiceover artists. Think of these conversations almost like recorded fireside chats that you might find on Audible. They’re short and sweet, but packed with tons of great insights.I’ve never tried this before, so let me know what you think!Second, if you’re into learning from proven medtech and healthtech experts, and want to know when the next interview goes live, head over to Medsider.com.
