Success Stories

"The prep work made all the difference. Before stepping into the session, I didn’t realize how structured guidance could shift the way I showed up. The way Sabrina framed our prep helped me feel clear, ready, and confident to articulate my story. It wasn’t just practice — it was precision coaching. I done many accelerators and pitch writing nothing was like this.

John Nealon

CEO of UroCure

"This wasn’t just another pitch competition. It was a platform where real healthcare leaders—from hospitals to VC firms—listened, asked hard questions, and offered meaningful feedback. But none of this would’ve been possible without the incredible pre-show bootcamp led by the team at PulsePoint Path and Sabrina Runbeck, MPH, MHS, PA-C. Thank you to the mentors who guided us with honest, actionable advice tailored to healthcare’s unique challenges."

Mayra Hurtado

Co-Founder of Prelude Health

"Before working on my pitch this way, I felt I had a decent pitch but I was only building brand awareness. I'm very impressed. Thank you Sabrina and PulsePoint Path. Within a very short amount of time, you've also been able to understand very well and summarize my business and add more value to it. So I really appreciate that."

Ikram Guerd

Chief Marketing Officer of Aspivix

“This wasn’t fluff — it was real, direct, and exactly what I needed. I appreciated how honest and clear the feedback was. Too often, you get surface-level tips. This was strategic. Purposeful. It gave me insight into what I’m doing right — and what needs to shift. If you skip this opportunity, you’re missing out.”

John Nealon

CEO of UroCure

"One of the biggest lessons I learned from the HealthTech Showdown is the power of clarity—being able to distill a complex healthcare solution into a story that connects, quickly and meaningfully. It’s not just about having the right science or the right market—it’s about making people feel the why behind what you're building."

Mayra Hurtado

Co-founder of Prelude Health

Even before stepping on stage yesterday for the live event, the pre-show bootcamp with Sabrina Runbeck, MPH, MHS, PA-C and PulsePoint Path's advisors has been valuable with practical insights and personalized strategies to refine our pitch and accelerate growth through: 💠Pitch Perfect practice – A tailored persuasion analysis to fine-tune messaging. 💠Strategic Advisory Call – Expert insights on healthcare growth and positioning. The most valuable part? Working with experts who actually understand and invest in healthcare.
