Hyperscalers & Startups: Healthtech Edition
Sponsored by Wilson Sonsini
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.
Moderator:
Dr. David Cooper, Clinical Psychologist & Digital Health Product Leader, Otsuka Precision Health & Co-Founder, SeaHealthTech
You'll hear from:
Mike Krutt, Director, Washington Product Development and Management, Kaiser Permanente
Ty Kayam, Of Counsel, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati
Andrew Rosenthal, Vice President of Product Management, Brook Ai
Arun Ravi, Senior Director, Health Ai, Microsoft
Aaron Sheedy, COO, Co-Founder, Xealth (Acquired by Samsung, 2025)
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
