Meet Your Instructor: Blair Hirst

Blair Hirst has spent two decades at the intersection of digital health innovation and product strategy, building inside major hospital systems, scaling health tech startups, and advising founders on turning ideas into revenue-generating businesses.

After 15 years watching great ideas fail not because of the product, but because founders lacked the playbook to get from launch to sustainable revenue, Blair created one.

Why Blair teaches this course:

Most early stage courses are built for Silicon Valley venture-backed, well-connected founders with safety nets. This course is different. It's built for bootstrappers, social entrepreneurs, and founders in health, infrastructure, and underserved markets who need to generate revenue now, not in three funding rounds.

Blair has worked with founders at every early stage (pre-seed to Series A) helping them build products, secure funding, and scale operations with limited resources. Through Digital Health Review and their venture studio work, they've trained founders on just that and built a 10,000+ community of operators and investors who support each other's growth.

What you'll learn from Blair:

• Product strategies that generate revenue before you have a full-featured platform

• Go-to-market tactics designed for resource-constrained teams

• Real frameworks Blair uses with paying clients (VCs, startups, health systems)

• How to build and leverage community as a competitive advantage

• Automation and operations strategies that free up your time to focus on growth

  Blair's background:

  • 15+ years building digital health, SaaS, data analytics products

  • Brown Engineering + NYU Tandon

  • Founded Digital Health Review venture studio

  • Advises startups and VCs on product, AI, and fundraising

  • Built everything from scratch with limited resources (just like you)
