Redox in the New Year: Squeezing into 2018
Last week, the ball dropped, a new year dawned, and we smooched our lovers. I woke up the next morning with the breath of a new year and decided to take a look back over our Redox journey to reflect on where we've been and share where we're headed. Surprisingly, our startup journey has closely aligned with the Gregorian year marker. I guess that's the psychology of the new-year's-reset we all give ourselves. Review. Exhale. Restart. 2014 - What do we do with our hands? We got the band together for the very first time in February of '14 at the annual HIMSS conference. 100health, our first idea/company, was a think tank/incubator of sorts .We should have seen it back then—the business we were launching wasn't the right one. Though true, creating 100health was a necessary step that forced us to live through the problem that we're currently trying to solve—again and again and again. Through experience, 100health showed us that it's far too difficult to innovate in healthcare, and by the end of the year, we were focused on the right problem to solve and the right company to start: Redox would connect innovators with healthcare organizations through an interoperability platform. This was my 2014 review (complete with the logo—or lack thereof—we were using at the time). It's amazing how much has changed since then; it's amazing how much has stayed the same. We closed the year with an idea, a $350K angel round, four people, and no customers.
