BWR 006: Zoe Barry: $1 Million Raised for Healthcare Technology

How can you raise $1 million (or more) for your idea?

Listen to our Interview with Zoe Barry, Founder of ZappRx to find out!

Zoe Barry is the Founder of ZappRx, a mobile technology company whose mission it is to revolutionize the prescription process.  Their technology connects the patient, physician and pharmacist with a mobile platform that makes the prescription process a heck of a lot easier and user friendly.  She has a great story about how she took her idea and built it into a solid company who secured $1 million in funding in 2013.

 

Zoe’s Kick-A$$ Quotes:

I will never let my age or gender get in the way of being a great entrepreneur.

You have to choose milestones that you can get to, really small steps that you’re taking, in order to get to a much larger beachhead.

What is it that you need to wake up and do today when you have something that’s just a figment of your imagination and how do you go from something that’s rather intangible and rather nebulous and making a reality?

Unlimited Vacation for Zoe’s Team

Zoe gives her team (she doesn’t call them employees) unlimited vacation time. This works for her company because of the attitude with which she leads.  She hires highly motivated, self-starting people who are passionate about their jobs.  She treats them as high level professionals who are going to take ownership in their role in the company.

 

Break It Down In Order to See Where You Can Improve

Zoe is fanatical about constant improvement. If she ever feels like she wasn’t good enough, she will analyze exactly what happened and what could have been done better.  Whatever she learns from this process, she applies to her next moves.  After she secured $1 million in funding, she dissected what she could have done better.  Once she identified this, she went back to her investors and they “double downed!”
