Any ideas for a Medicine student?

[Kokaka]

Hi all.
Im a Swedish, beginner entrepreneur and a halfway medstudent but my real passion is business. I am currently working on opening a more advanced beauty clinic in my city in a prime position where I will be working with beauticians, nurses and doctors of which I own 25%, but due to the corona virus, we will have to prospone the opening 6 month.
My job was to open, administrate and negociate the clinic which will lead to a good side hustle during my studies.
Anyway, during this time, I noticed that I had a talent for negociation and organisation and a burning passion in opening business.
My goal is to not work 9-5 at a hospital when I finish but to have a business or businesses and I will have aquired a unique set of skills.
I do have a high school diploma in business, will be a Mecical Doctor and speak 5 languages and have no fear of moving, hard work or opening.
My question is then if anyone have some business Ideas both for now now, as side hustles and also, thinking bigger in the future, when I can trade time for money and build up a decent capital to invest in a bigger idea or company.

Years ago, I knew of twins who were doctors, specializing in surgery. They hated being doctors so they became inventors of medical equipment used in surgeries. They lived off of their patents and selling the tools they manufactured. It's your education. You can use it however you want...

I went to law school. I never practiced as an attorney. I was an expert witness in real estate matters in Los Angeles. I made more per hour than my attorneys. Now I'm a professional real estate investor.

You will have successes and failures. Just make sure to position yourself to fail up rather than falling flat. Make those failures an important step in the right direction. Good luck!

My family doctor is running three offices in towns nearby at the same time having like 10 doctors underneath him. If this isn't running a business, I dont know what is.

This new generation of doctors likes to be a employer for the safety of holidays and not being in charge. Their decision but this gives opportunity for those who can take it .

So I got a new Idea/opportunity.
I have a contact (surgeon) with clinics around europe who has showed interest in making a cosmetic brand. I believe I can get him to work with me since ge just want to do the brand, has money but has no idea on how to proceed.
Does anyone have an idea on where to turn to a lab/factory that make cosmetics?
Then when I have the products, I want to sell them on Amazon.

Edit: Apparently he has opend his business but I have noticed that there are a lab which does this things in the city where I live. I can invest 24k (4k from my money) and own 100% of the company.
Is that something worth investigate? I am new to selling on amazon but I am very good at getting things done so I can make a good cream in a nice package.

Edit again: I do believe this is the idea I like the most since it will combine very, very well with the clinic I'm opening and the field I'm studying. Who knows, maybe in the future specialise in cosmetic dermatology. So all in all this Idea is just fantastic with what I'm doing.
Then again, Im very glad to get some input on how to proceed and if 24k is enough.

Hi guys

I'm also a medic and I have already completed school and worked a few years in O&T. One year ago I quit the job, started a company in the medical HR industry and raised public as well as VC capital.

Unless you really hate medicine and are going to drop out, DONT start a business. Here's why:

Just like I was in your current position, you are probably overwhelmed, tired and sick of medical school. School slowly killed your passion for the subject and you suddenly wonder why you should work in the profession when there are easier options. You are probably feeling more enthusiastic now about business and starting a company than the medical profession.

But it doesnt work. I tried it. Business and school will massively collide. You will either fail school or the business, or worse: both. Complete school first or quit now. I did the mistake back then and I wished I focused on school.

My advice: finish the degree: Your medical degree and license is far more valuable than you think.
-A well paid job for life (you need capital for your endeavours and a safety net)
-Extremely attractive degree to investors. Much easier to raise capital
-Also very attractive to co-founders and the team. (The face of the company?)
-You get to see REAL problems and find REAL solutions in practise
-You get to go back to medicine/work part-time and still have sweet plan-B.
-The license opens many doors not many entrepreneurs can open.

Play your odds. I take calculated risks every day. I'm always out to up my odds and hedging my bets. I don't take risks where the odds are against me. And, I'm very conservative in how and when I spend my money. I don't make moves that can kill my game. I always have a plan B and C and D...

I'm big on planning my exit -- no matter how well things are going at the moment. (I've had some pretty spectacular failures from some really unexpected Black Swans over the years.) At this point in my life, putting it all the line isn't worth the risk. But, I'm a lot older than you. Time is on your side right now. Even with saying that, make sure that if & when the sky does fall in on you, you have a viable exit strategy. You don't want to end up being the fall guy who must carry the full load of the failure. You really, really don't want to spend years of your life cleaning up the mess -- with your hands tied behind your back legally and financially.

Make sure that you spread the risk to everyone involved and then mitigate that risk in advance. Everyone making the decision to proceed must have a dog in the fight. Have your "if then" plans for the worst-case scenario in place and ready to execute. I know that many will find this is too negative. It's not. Here's my rule -- If you cannot live with the worst outcome, you cannot make the decision to proceed. Why "if then" plans? If things start to go sideways, you don't have to think through the problem in a crisis when your brain is foggy. You already have your correction or exit plan ready to execute. Review and amend those plans on a regular basis as you go through your different steps of development.

Here's another one of my rules -- This only reason to build a business is to create a viable cash flow for today and a sellable business model for tomorrow. Every step of the way must support those two goals -- make money for today and eventually sell the business. Many professionals, like doctors, lose focus of those goals during the daily grid.

I do believe we think very much alike. Everything I do has a plan a, b c and even d.
As such I have planned my exit strategy. Thing is, Sweden is one of thee most easy countries to open a business in. We have a state owned bank who can loan you 20k euros with 72 month of instalment. The intrest is 6%, you can prolong the start of your first instalment for 12 month. Even better, if you bankrupt, you onky have to pay back 10% of what you owe, so 2k euros is my risk with the clinic and I can handle that. To get the loan, the bank need to trust you, your ability and your business idea and in my case, they definetly do and I have already been granted the 20k.
The only thing that can hamper my plans is if I can't prolong the opening date for my other clinic untill next year, which I believa I can and should not be a problem. But that is something I need to check first.

Welcome.
I'm in the same boat as you. Also a medical doctor, looking to move into business.
I'm also in the aesthetic industry (at the moment), but in a slowlane way.
I want to get into aesthetic field as well, but not necessarily a beauty clinic.
Update us

Things that could work is to open an online consulting firm for doctors who meet patiens with maybe skype who could write recepied digitaly. Create a beauty brand and sell it throigh social media or as I read yesterday, do something like Cellink who can print human tissue. As I understood it, his father was a scientist who created a method and the Ceo created a company around the findings and is now worth millions and millions in just a few years. As a MD and entrepreneur, I believe you can do alot of interesting things.
One idea that I have is create a franchise and a brand with my clinic. I am working with a Brazilian Beutician who has studied for 4 years in Brazil so her knowledge does not exist here in Scandinavia and we are basicly 10 years before everyone else. And me as a future MD will complement her very well since I will have all the medical and business knowledge.
What did you have in mind? Always good to exchange Ideas

 

[Kokaka]

Interesting.
Because Bio Hacking is a very interesting topic. But I guess to be really good you would need to have Electrotechnical engineers with some kind of knowledge of how to apply it to the medical industry and bioinformatics engineers (who can come from people who know informatics/computer science, or biomedical engineering), besides all the medical stuff you probably already know.

It's so complex, the only way I see it can be a trend is because all the hype there is around it, because the probability of having someone capable both of understand what it takes, and arrange a team who is capable of doing something in the field...it's for really remarkable people, not for a trend.

Btw, just a little correction, it's spelt "easier". I am just correcting for, you know...in this forum it doesn't really matter, but it can be important some day.

Thanks for the input.
I believe that Bio Hacking is here to stay and that it is trending just shows that people is getting more and more interested in it and that it will be a new, unexplored market in the future.

I agree that this is not something an MD to do alone but need a good team around him from various fields. Also the investment to start such a company will be enormous but it can turn into some really interesting. But first you need an idéa and I believe a good way can be from contacts from an university. This is however outside my understanding at the moment since I dont have enough contacts to make it work, nor the skills, even less the funds. It is just an idéa to be explored.

What is here and within my grasp is that there is labratories that makes products based on the individuals genome so you take a DNA sample, send it to a lab, they send the results to a cosmetic menufacturer and then back to the client. The client can even be sent test and do it at home. That is also an idéa that can be explored.

Anyway. Thanks for the input on the spelling since I'm happy to learn and it might be important one day.

Yes. Go for it, then!
Good luck.
The community in the university can help a lot, that's true. They have the technical knowledge, so they're practical and know the limitations and what they're talking.
It's not media-based for the entertainment or something like that, so you're on the good track.

Good luck once again.

Actually, this Idea seems quite good the more I think about it. It will be like dropshipping but for customized beauty and skinproducts for rich people. I don't need a stock since any lab will send the swab to the person, then back to the lab in Switzerland which make the product. I have access to some media pressence in Brazil and a semi-famous Dermatologist who could slap her name on the product and sell it through social media, and from what I have heard, they really like european products over there, and having one that is made in Swizerland is just more the better since just the name is associated with class and luxury.
Then I have to market it here in Europe which I guess will be through Social Media, facebook ads etc.
Does anyone have an idea regarding this idea of some pitfalls or opportunities, because Im not that knowledgeble when it comes to eCommerce.

I'm sooo glad you are here
I noticed some doctors join, make like one or two posts, then disappear foreverrr.
Pls don't be like that, lol.

I kinda wanna start a Youtube channel too, but I'm wary of putting my name out there in case it affects my employment, I dunno. I'm not fully fastlane yet, so for now, i'll still need a job.

I noticed Zoom now has ?HIPPA compliant platform for healthcare professionals for consultations.

I do wanna go for it and set up a consulting website like you said, but I heard hooking up with insurance companies can get $$, and hook up with pharmaceutical companies to get meds to people's homes within two hours or something.

I wonder if it's ok to use my first name & my boyfriend's surname on my Youtube channel, lol. Odds are quite high I would end up with him. Then if I need a job, I apply with my maiden name, as it is on my med certificate will I get shit for that since we're not officially married (yet)?

Maybe we can keep contact off site, and who knows, perhaps start something together one day.

Thanks a million!!
Just wondering- if you no longer upload new videos to your channel, do ppl still find your old videos?

Yes they do find them since some videos has between 1 and 4 million views so that create traction.
Got bored of the video making since youtube pulled about 50% of my videos and I got into med school

I really hope someone with experience here will answer, as I'm interested in something similar

 

[Kokaka]

Update: So I have been researching the field and I have now a specialist in cosmetology and aestetics who is on board. I have also been cheking some manufacturers online and found one locaded in a small, mountainous town in the northen part of Sweden, close to my birth-town who specialise in 100% organic products. They use alot of herbs and exotic fruits, like mountain stream water and cloud berries that only exist in the northen Scandinavian countries. This make the ingredients exotic, organic and genuine. The fabric is also locaded beautifully next to a mountain lake inbetween a couple of mountains which will be used in the marketing. Furthermore they pack, lable and send the products for me which is a big win. The also meet the GMP standard.
I haven't been given them a call since I have been very tired today, I have corona, so I have just researched but will give them a call next week.

So this producer check alot of boxes for me, being Swedish, 100% organic, recycled plastic containers and alot of exotic ingredience. So that means the people who will buy it will be white liberals, who like the socialist scandinavia, organic products, recycle plastics etc. So now I have a demograph.
My idea is to exploit the Liberal, 15-60 yo womans mindset and see if I can mix something that is popular with the demographic like CBD oil, MCT oil, chia seed, hemp seed, matcha tea, everything vegan etc. in conjunction with what is being offerd with the Nordic fruits and herbs.

Its fun to open businesses

Didn't read whole thread but here's food for thought:
Jeff Bezos joins $76M round for secretive biotech startup led by Isilon co-founder, Stanford scientist

So i guess there are business opportunities in this market.

Thanks. Really good food for thought. This gos in line with customized medicine who I believe will be a big thing in the future. That company will be something to invest in. Very very cool. I like it alot

 

[Kokaka]

Update: So I have been browsing the site a bit which definetly have helped with how I see to get into fastlane. I reallt liked the tread about the guy who started from 0 and is now in fastlane by buying other compaines. So that got me thinking, I can do that to. As a matter of fact, I have been looking for companies yo take over and have found a beauty clinic in a neighbouring city who is for grabs. It is just the locale but as it is an old clinic, everything is ready to go so I just have to invest in some used machines and Im ready to go. As is, the current company is just making break even but the way it is operated and what they offer is far, far from optimal.
If I can get it, Im sure I will get about 50-100% return on investment per year.
I will make some phonecalls and see what I can do.
Also that means the cosmetic ideá will be prosponed since it will take to much of my time but it it something I will look at in the future.

Oh absolutly. I wont quit med school, and yes it is overwhelming at times. However I have planned for that. Now I will have 10 weeks break from school which I can use productivly. What I am doing is opening bussiness but letting other people maintain and operate it, giving me 25% of the profit and the stocks. That way I have a passive income after the clinic is ready. And yes, once in a while I will have to attend a meeting or make a phone call but I wont actively work on it once it is finished.
But then, I need to have an extra job to maintain my economy and its either this or working as a nurses assistant serving food and changing dipers.

I remember being that cocky too when I was in my third and fourth year, when I started my first company. A lot of unrealistic assumptions/red flags in your text but I will set this as a reminder for 10 weeks time and find it out myself, if you update. Please dont be so condescending towards nurse assistants. Get off your high horse.

Hi Knugs!

I've also completed med school, worked for 7 & a half years in emergency & outpatient, now work in cosmetic.
I do realize the points you made.

Can you talk a bit more about how you raised VC & public capital, and what your company does?
Thanks!
Great to meet you here!

Are you doing non-invasive aesthetic work? I have some friends that quit their job/locum after a year and are doing that right now. I find it hard to compete vs plastic board certified practises (I did 6 months in a private clinic) but as far as I have heard its a nice side-hustle to have.

You probably have seen a lot of issues in ED during your time. Bad processes, lack of IT, lack of tech etc. There is such a great abundance of issues and space for improvement. Every problem is an opportunity. I found a real problem in the medtech HR place and after a few rounds of pivoting, we are developing a medical HR SAAS business.

We got funded by the European Union and German state government for our project. The funding includes 2500 euros salary for each founder and a mid 5-figure non repayble amount to develop the prototyp. In addition, the state university supports us with free office space and their network. The network support is actually more valuable than the financial support. Every EU country/country state support their local businesses in different ways. In Hamburg they have massiv financial support. In Berlin they do a "we pay for 50% of everthing on the first 100k" you spend. There are some EU-wide projects and country wide projects. Especially when your business focuses on sustainability a lot of financial doors start to open.

Raising VC capital is a complete different game. For public funding you need to convince them on paper: Innovation/ solves a societal problem/ Team qualification. They will read the 30-page-long proposal. Private investors are really human sharks. The analogy of shark tank fits pretty nicely. They want to make more money so you have to pitch them how you are all going to get filfthy rich. Getting the attention and opportunity to pitch is the hardest part. As soon as you are in, every VC and BA is gonna start listening.

I pitched digitally in front of 100 VCs (70%) and BAs about 3 weeks ago. We are currently in "due dilligence" with 6 of them. We are raising a seed round for roughly 700k. Being a doctor comes across really well when the problem you are solving is in the medical field. Not because you have the Dr. but because you can tell the story really well.

The how to do it is really tough. You need them to get to listen to you. They go through 1000s pitch decks each week so you can imagine how difficult it is for them to look at your pitch. Keep it short, simple to understand. Tell the story convincingly. If they dont get it in the first seconds the pitch deck already failed, even though it might have been a billion dollar business.

Yeah that is pretty much my idea. When I started med school, I knew that I did not want to work in the hospital, whit the possible exception of maybe a trauma surgeon, intensive care doctor or helicopter doctor since Im a very intense person and have worked for a while in the military, doing intensive things.
I do however know now that I dont want to do that after my time in the ICU as a nurse assistant so I am still looking for interesting things to do when I finish. Just like you and your friends.

Update: Going to see the other clinic on thursday and everything seems well so far. Also things are looking to get back to normal here in sweden (consumption wise) after the corona crisis so the risk of opening is quite low I think.

 

[Kokaka]

Hi Kokaka,

My name is Mike and I am CTO of an IoT/IoMT company developing tech and tools for hospitals and care facilities. We are rather focused on nursing homes but we look with interest at other segments.

We already collaborate with doctors to develop our products and I find the collaboration amazing. They are incredibly intelligent and know exactly what they want; most of the time the major issue is time (they are overwhelmed with work).

I am writing because we know that the market and appetite for health-tech in the Nordic countries is large, but we haven't really done marketing there yet.

To give you an idea, one of the products we are bringing to market is an advanced bed monitoring system which reduces false alarms to almost 0. Also, by continuously collecting data about the patient behavior in bed we are able to build profiles that are used by doctors to test the effects of sedation and as a additional source of info to monitor the evolution of the patient.

You can find more info here if you want: Zensi Pro

View attachment 33249

We are also looking at integrating new low-power sensors to help patients, nurses and families in their care giving activities.

If you see some potential synergies with what you want to do, we would be more than happy to have a chat. We could help you with prototyping or develop some of your ideas and we could benefit from your knowledge of medical landscape in Sweden.

Feel free to drop me a line anytime.

Cheers,
Mike

PS. I wrote from phone earlier this week but i see the post didn't work. If the previous post has been cancelled for some reason i apologize.

Hi Mike.
Your post intrigues me, and I will look into it and see if we can do something together. I have experience working in nursing home and the alarms they used, laser or IR causes alot of false alarms which takes valable time for the nursing assistens. I also have some contacts whitin the area as well as the hospitals which is a bonus.
Further more, I have been rookie of the year for two different sales companies so selling and negotiating is absolutley one of my strong points and is in my blood.
I am however studying for my exam next week so give me some time and we will talk.

 

[Kokaka]

Wow, it's amazing what you've achieved so far whilst in medical school. I've always thought of opening up a clinic as something I'd do after going through medical school, specialist training, like 10 or so years down the track (A limiting belief of mine). From what I've observed so far, medicine is a field with distinct hierarchies based on skills, seniority and experience. It's hard for me to imagine how you've managed to convince other health care professionals to work with you as a medical student. Do you think that's a reasonable thought, or is it purely a limiting belief of mine.

Well I was of the same thought when I started but it is just a limiting thought. I need to work extra regardless because I nees to pay my bills and I have too much energy enyways so I thought why not open during med school instead. Make more money and work less (hopefully) that I do now and also learn how to run a business.
The Doctors ans nurses who want to work with me does not want to do that because Im a med student. They do it because Im an entrepreneur and business owner who seems to know what hes talking about. Also I have a college with a unique skillset due to her post post beauty surgery treatments so that has been very easy to sell to the local private surgeons.
But yeah, it is absolutley possible, even though I sometimes believe you have to be a bit crazy/excentric to do it.
One advice though is if you want to open something whilst in med school. Try to find a partner who is not studying because when you are studying 10 hours a day you will not have the time to do any treatments yourself.

Yes defenetly. It is the same here in Sweden which makes it easyer for the rest of us. Also apparently to google trends from a few month ago, the biggest trend of the beginning of the year is customised treatments and Bio Hacking. So that area is ripe for the taking and it will be easy to find overworked doctors from the hospital who prefer working less and earning more.

Yes we doctors can open businesses too but I believe, as stated above most people with the grades to get into med school are there to help people, they who want to make money are usually in another profession.
I don't know about your country or where you are locaded but here in Sweden we have a consultant firm called doktor.se and kry.se which does what I explained and they are doing very well. Depending on your country, if you want to do the consulting business, it might be a good idea to first speak to a laywer and some consultants on what you need to do with insurance, structure etc. and then maybe find someone who can invest in the company, be it a bank or other. Always use other peoples money if possible.

You can do alot with youtube and I have an old music channel with 22k subscribers from years ago where I uploaded some DJ mixes when I was a DJ in Ibiza. I link it just for fun.

Anyway if you want to do some business on youtube you can choose a name that spark interest, maybe like Medical Questions where you break down common diseases, what it is and how to treat it. Just have something people think is interesting. A bonus is that people can't figure out who you are if you dont put any clue to who you are online if you don't want people to look for you outside the internet.
Also you work in aestetics, you could also talk about what you know in that field.
Another way to do it is to switch the name later on like dr. Sandra Lee who was formerly known as "The Pimple Popper".
Next is skill share where you teach what you know and you recieve money. I dont know how that works, only this guy uses it who is also a youtuber and an medical intern.

I have been flirting with the idea of making a youtube channel about functional medicine since thats something I'm passioned about and will spark alot of interest but at the moment I dont have the time, nor the skill to make sufficient content in that field.

Yes its always good to have contacts. Just send me a message in my inbox if you want to chat privately

Thanks a million!!
Just wondering- if you no longer upload new videos to your channel, do ppl still find your old videos?

Let's update each other & the forum on good manufacturers.

Always good to trade Ideas. Maybe you have thought about something that I have not which will lead to us helping ourself and eachother in the process. We are both in medicine so that give us a skill something alot of people dont have and even less use it in business.

 

[fastlanedoll]

I will.
PM you when I start.
I'm stuck with having to study for this family medicine diploma at the mo.
I started it before I discovered TMF . Sigh.
