From IP to IPO

Now and then, you find someone that completely changes how you think about an issue... well, that happened a few days ago, in a lecture given by Ophir Shahaf (CEO Hadasit Bio-Holdings ). Ophir manages a portfolio of innovative ideas arising in a big medical center in Israel.

To make it short, they built a company to invest in those healthcare ideas from within their hospital and in doing so, they essentially took their portfolio public (the IPO was succesful...).

So... more IPOs coming in the next years trying to raise funds for innovative hospitals?

Amazing.
