Building a Health Tech Startup While Working a Full-Time Job
On today’s episode of Before She Founded, I’m joined by Amanda Zalka, founder of Hu – a platform for modern longevity care. Amanda shares how she’s building at the intersection of data, AI, and personalized health to make healthcare more human and accessible, starting with women.
In this conversation, we discuss how Amanda went from building products at companies like Spotify to launching her own startup, why she believes you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin, and what it’s really like to build a company while balancing a full-time career. We also talk about choosing the right co-founder, fundraising, navigating entrepreneurship as a woman, and why curiosity – not confidence – is the best place to start. Amanda leaves us with practical advice for aspiring founders and a reminder that the best way to learn entrepreneurship is simply to begin.
