Her insights into stakeholder engagement and her innovative approach to incorporating human coaching into digital solutions have been pivotal in developing our platform. Her ability to foster strategic partnerships has significantly propelled our mission to improve health and wellbeing self-management through technology.
Aahuti has profoundly influenced our approach to digital health, emphasising the importance of personal touch in technology.

Ben Lakey, Co-Founder & CEO, Syndi Health
As startup founders, we are surrounded with people that share their opinions and (often conflicting) advice on how we could better grow our companies in the complex healthcare ecosystem. Rarely, you get to spend time with someone as experienced as Aahuti on a comprehensive checkup of your strategic assumptions, investment story and growth plan. We came out of this process with more clarity and focus. I can truly recommend it to any founder willing to lead change in healthcare.

Adrian Baxter, COO of The Sleep School
As a repeat client, what I have always enjoyed about working with Aahuti is her focus on getting to the root of an issue, her frank advice and her determination to make things better. Her interpersonal style lends itself to rapidly building trust, inviting people to open up and engage constructively in problem-solving. She brings structure and method to conversations that can easily get derailed by emotion or politics. I’d work with Aahuti in a heartbeat and I hope our careers cross paths again.

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Aahuti to assist a number of start-up companies in the med-tech space. She has a remarkable ability to bring clarity to complex problems, greatly simplifying the preparation of easily understood and impactful plans. For Aahuti, ‘purposeful business’ is not just consultant-speak she helps her clients adopt a human-centric approach to all aspects of their business activity.

Aahuti’s leadership, insights and structure proved invaluable as we navigated our way through a complex set of objectives to reshape our business and our delivery model. Her ability to understand our business within a short space of time; her ability to break down complexity and challenge the management team led to improved decision making and outcomes for the execution of our strategy.
Rory Passmore, MD Optegra Healthcare
We have had the pleasure of working with Aahuti as an advisor to the Conduit Connect and our Conduit EIS Impact Fund. Aahuti helps our investment team in the evaluation of early-stage digital healthcare companies. Aahuti is deeply embedded in the digital health ecosystem in the UK and therefore has unique expertise across commercialisation strategies, the regulatory landscape, and public/private partnerships. Aahuti has been invaluable to our diligence process, providing candid and thorough feedback to the investment managers and investment committee, and she often mentors the founders in our portfolio as they look to scale toward their next funding round. Aahuti is an absolute joy to work with – she is as passionate about the industry as she is knowledgeable, and thorough in her approach to diligence and mentorship.
