HealthTech Startup Pitch to VCs
Advanced English listening exercise · Startup Pitches

[Founder] Good afternoon. I'm Dr. James Park, co-founder of MediScan AI. Every year, diagnostic errors cause over twelve million patients harm in the US alone. We're building AI that helps doctors get it right the first time. [VC] What does your product actually do? [Founder] MediScan is a diagnostic decision support tool. Doctors upload medical images — X-rays, MRIs, CT scans — and our AI provides analysis in under thirty seconds with ninety-seven percent accuracy. [VC] How does that compare to radiologists? [Founder] The average radiologist achieves about ninety-two percent accuracy. But we're not replacing doctors — we're augmenting them. Our tool highlights areas of concern and suggests possible diagnoses, but the physician always makes the final call. [VC] What about regulatory approval? [Founder] We received FDA clearance for our chest X-ray module last quarter. We're currently in the approval process for our mammography and brain MRI modules. [VC] Who's using it today? [Founder] We're deployed in fourteen hospitals across five states. Our retention rate is ninety-eight percent — once hospitals try it, they don't leave. [VC] What's the business model? [Founder] We charge a per-scan fee for smaller clinics and an enterprise subscription for hospital networks. Average contract value is two hundred thousand dollars annually. [VC] What's your competitive moat? [Founder] Three things: our proprietary dataset of over five million annotated medical images, our team of twenty-three machine learning PhDs, and first-mover advantage with FDA clearances.
