Christopher Hertz on Medtech, wound care & the reality of building a startup

In this episode of leadership lab, Maurice Thornton speaks with Christopher Hertz, Founder and Managing Director of Piomic, about what it really takes to build a medtech startup. Christopher shares his journey from molecular biology at ETH Zurich to co-founding piomic, a company working in advanced wound care. What started as a nine-month “let’s see if this works” idea became a much longer journey through prototypes, investors, clinical studies, FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, and the reality of trying to bring a medical device to patients. Together, Maurice and Christopher talk about non-healing wounds, the hidden burden of diabetic wound care, why staying close to physicians, nurses and patients matters, and why healthcare innovation cannot happen only from behind a desk. They also discuss the founder side of the story: building the right team, making difficult decisions, raising money, creating a board, almost giving up, travelling endlessly, and learning how to keep going when things get heavy.
