Paul Grand, CEO of MedTech Innovator, and Lindsey Dinneen kick off Project Medtech Podcast's new MTI miniseries, where 2026 cohort companies will share their startup journeys so far, stories, and advice. In this episode, Lindsey and Paul discuss his path from eight-time founder and venture capitalist to building the world's largest healthcare accelerator, what happens inside the accelerator, and how strategics and specialty societies champion startups. Paul also shares his best pitch advice, why FDA clearance is the starting line rather than the finish line, and what to know before applying for the 2027 cohort. Stay tuned for the miniseries, featuring MTI Leadership Pod companies, to go live with bonus episodes starting this Thursday!
