Join us in Miami Beach this March for StartUp Health @ ViVE 2022 and meet Health Transformers like Sami Inkinen: https://www.startuphealth.com/vive The number of people with type 2 diabetes is staggering. The WHO puts it north of 460 million people globally. Most talk is about managing the disease through nutrition, exercise, and medication. But what if it could be reversed completely? That’s the claim, and the health moonshot, of our guest today, Sami Inkinen, CEO and Founder of Virta, which StartUp Health backed in 2020. Specifically, Inkinen and his team want to reverse type 2 Diabetes in 100 million people by 2025. That’s a big goal, but Inkinen isn’t just any founder. Before building Virta, he disrupted the real estate industry by co-founding Trulia, which he sold to Zillow for $2.5B. Now with Virta, he’s raised more than $350M to date, giving him the capital needed to take their diabetes reversal platform and scale it in unprecedented ways. == Invest in Health Moonshots: https://healthmoonshots.com Connect with StartUpHealth: Website: https://www.startuphealth.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startuphealth/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/startuphealth Podcast: https://startup-health-now.blubrry.net/
