a small, useful company
One problem. A much shorter path through it.
The Medic sat between goCatch and Audience Republic: a tightly focused product that made access to a doctor less bureaucratic when leaving home was exactly what you did not want to do.
I built the business, took it to market, and sold it to 1st Group in 2016. It was deliberately narrow — a useful reminder that a product can matter without becoming a sprawling platform.
