From Consultant to Builder: Sadia Dhorat's "Sink or Swim" Moment and the Lessons She's Learnt

Today we speak to Sadia Dhorat, an entrepreneur who swapped the safety-net of consulting career for the gritty reality of New York’s health tech scene during the pandemic. Now she's in London helping others grow with the experience she's gained.

In conversation with David, Sadia breaks down the stark differences between London and US risk appetites, reveals why the jump from Series A to Series B is where most startup cultures fracture, and explains why "no ego" leadership is the only way to truly serve customers in a tech-driven world.
