The Docphin-Romulus story:
Neil was introduced to Docphin through a mutual friend, and he quickly developed conviction that the company was solving a real problem—one hospitals would be willing to pay for—from his own personal experience. The well-rounded team was appealing to him as well.
Romulus value in action: Executing. Docphin proved it could efficiently reach a large proportion of doctors by efficiently leveraging a variety of channels, which led to its acquisition by HealthTap.
