How to Run Your Medtech Startup on a Budget
Interview with Syntr Health CEO Ahmed Zobi
Ahmed Zobi, founder and CEO of Syntr Health Technologies, and his team have developed an automated microfat processing system for use in aesthetics and plastic surgery. The FDA-cleared SyntrFuge device allows clinicians to harvest patients’ adipose tissue and then reinject it as processed microfat within minutes into the desired area, eliminating the use of fillers. SynterFuge has the potential to be applied in other fields like wound care, orthopedics, podiatry, dermatology, and many more. In this interview, Ahmed shares his ideas on the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship, how to operate in a lean fashion, why he puts regulatory clearance above all, and how he managed to be the youngest candidate to ever receive a phase 1 SBIR grant.
