Description

In this episode of Medsider Radio, we had a fun chat with Bryan Lord, President and CEO of Pristine Surgical. Pristine's flagship product, Summit, is a 4K, single-use digital arthroscope that streamlines arthroscopic procedures. Bryan started his career as a “deal guy” – originally a tech lawyer in Boston, and always involved in startups. He has a wealth of experience across various technology sectors including semiconductors, enterprise software, and medtech, and spanning roles in corporate finance, technology licensing, and M&A. Before Pristine, Bryan also founded three venture organizations: New Venture Advisors, Orthopedic Venture Partners, and Innovation Alliance.In this interview, Bryan shares the story of how he evolved his career to become a medtech entrepreneur and the lessons he learned along the way—about how to protect your competitive advantage, how to achieve market pull vs. market push, and the importance of collaborating with experienced mentors.
