How Surbhi Sarna Built A $275M Biotech Company From Nothing

Surbhi Sarna describes how a personal health scare led her to found InVision Medical, which developed a device to collect cells from the fallopian tube for cancer evaluation. She explains how she validated the concept by speaking with physicians, raised seed funding after repeated investor rejections, and built the product through clinical studies to FDA clearance. Boston Scientific acquired InVision Medical for $275 million, securing the product’s future. Sarna closes with lessons about persistence, finding supportive people, and judging founders by the problem they are solving rather than their degrees.
