Here are some of the questions we asked Nahum:

01:11           What's your personal journey in med tech? How did you come to found EyeYon?

04:00           Why do you think we don’t hear about ophthalmology startups and do you think that this is changing?

08:10           Can you explain what the cornea is? And why is it considered the window to the eye?

12:50          What is the story behind EyeYon and behind EndoArt, which is your main product?

17:45           When you fundraised for the company 10 years ago, what was the story behind that fundraising? And did it involve the two products you are now focused on? 

22:40                                  How did you attract a VC from a very early stage?

26:40                                  Are there two different got-to-market strategies for your products or are you building on top of each other for it to go to market?

32:20                                  What are your plans moving forward with EndoArt and beyond?

38:00                                  How do you keep your work and life balance?

42:00                                  If you could go back to your 16-year-old self, what words of wisdom would you give to you?
