Hyperscalers & Startups -Healthcare Edition | SeaHealthTech
Hyperscalers vs. Startups: Healthtech Edition
Every health system is asking the same question right now: do you bet on the hyperscalers, or the startups nipping at their heels? This Seattle Tech Week, we're getting real answers — from the people actually making these decisions.
Forget the buttoned-up panel format. We're running this one hot — literally. Questions escalate round by round (with an optional hot sauce table for anyone who wants to raise the stakes on themselves), moving from icebreakers to the questions vendors never get asked to their face.
You'll hear from:
A startup product leader on how they're actually differentiating from the giants
A hyperscaler exec on what they're really building for health systems
A health system CIO on what buyers actually look for — and what makes them walk away
A former FDA AI regulator, now in healthtech law, on the compliance traps nobody's talking about
By the end, you'll know exactly how startups are competing, what hyperscalers are betting on, what buyers actually buy and why, and what to watch out for before you sign anything.Hyperscalers vs. Startups: Healthtech Edition
