Week In Review:
July 3, 2025
On The Ground
As we head into the Fourth of July weekend, we hope you're finding a moment to rest and recharge. The first half of 2025 has been intense across the health-tech landscape - volatile markets, shifting regulations, and nonstop demands on teams navigating everything from capital constraints to rapid AI adoption.
Now’s a good time to take stock. The second half of the year will be all about focus: doubling down on what’s working, letting go of what’s not, and doing so with the right talent in place to execute.
The next two months actually represent a great opportunity to grab the mindshare of execs while they take a break to reboot, rather than waiting for September to make moves. Historically, we’ve seen organizations do really well by going to market for talent while most are waiting for Labor Day to hit, only to compete in the frenzy that is late Q4 and Q4.
Notably, getting a jump on finance and commercial, as well as ops and product leaders is particularly worthwhile in light of end of year demands on them.
In the meantime, wishing you a restful break, some clarity in the quiet, and a strong start to the second half of the year.
PS: This is the final week to contribute your perspective for our Mid-Year Report, where we’ll address the question on everyone’s mind: what’s really happening in this market?
