One Health Collective: Healthcare Builder Cafe
Calling all healthcare builders, clinicians, payors, investors & operators!!
This summer, we’re turning NYC cafés into live office hours for the healthcare ecosystem.
One Health Collective presents: Builder’s Café
Dates: July 23 – August 30, 2025 - final dates will be updated pending expert availabilities
Location: Various cafés across NYC - locations will be updated but expect Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens locations.
Objective: No slides. No panels. Just real, unfiltered problem-solving.
Each session is a hands-on, peer-to-peer working meetup tackling the core challenges of building healthcare companies from zero to one—go-to-market, payer strategy, clinical adoption, AI development, and fundraising.
