Six teams of Stanford student entrepreneurs had the opportunity to talk with a panel of government representatives and investors about the barriers preventing them from bringing their cost-saving healthcare innovations to market. The event was called the"DC2VC" panel discussion because it brought together venture capital investors (VCs) with key contacts from U.S. Federal government (from Washington "DC") to discuss how uncertainty related to regulation, reimbursement, and other market-access factors routinely derail good ideas in the healthcare sector.
