In this episode of Medsider Radio, we had a chat with Tyler Melton, the co-founder and CEO of Corveus Medical, a Houston-based startup on a mission to redefine heart failure treatment. Tyler previously worked at Accenture, consulting for top-tier pharmaceutical companies, and at the J&J Center for Device Innovation, where he honed his skills in strategic planning and financial modeling. He then joined the Texas Medical Center Biodesign Program, where he uncovered his current mission: to treat heart failure with targeted nerve ablation. In this interview, Tyler shares how using off-the-shelf products for early prototypes saved him both time and money and how accelerator programs provided the networking boost his startup needed to tackle the demanding PMA regulatory pathway.
