First-principles thinking – the idea of breaking down complicated problems into basic elements so you can build back better from the ground up – is core to our strategic process at StartUp Health. It’s one of the best ways to unlock creative possibilities that shift us from linear to exponential progress.
A decade after launching our plan for achieving health moonshots and our mission to improve the health and wellbeing of everyone in the world, we continue to examine our plan and the core principles that drive our thesis to identify what’s working and what’s not so we can recalibrate for the future.
A first-principle that has always been foundational to us is that collaboration is key to achieving any health moonshot. Breaking down silos and leveraging the power of network effects is essential to exponential innovation in the vast and complicated world of
healthcare.
But what’s the unifying principle that ties all health moonshots together and makes collaboration work?
