Last year, Oviva, a digital health company, won the Tech Tour Health Growth Award. This year, they have once again been included in the prestigious Tech Tour Growth50 List. We had the opportunity to interview Kai Eberhardt, the Co-founder & CEO of Oviva, to discuss their remarkable success story. 

 

Oviva has successfully merged healthcare and innovative technology, enabling people to access the best diet and lifestyle therapies in their local areas. The company works in partnership with health insurers, healthcare systems, and doctors to provide easy access to care for those in need. 

 

Kai Eberhardt shared his insights on how Oviva achieved impressive growth, attributing it to product-market fit and understanding the needs of various stakeholders. He also emphasised the importance of having a product that is significantly better than existing alternatives. 

 

One of the challenges Oviva faced during its rapid growth was managing a growing team. Eberhardt highlighted the need to professionalise certain aspects of the organisation and bringing in experienced personnel to maintain effectiveness. Balancing this with respecting and being thankful to those who had contributed to the company's success in the past was a significant challenge. However, overcoming these challenges was essential for the company's continued growth. 

 

The key factors contributing to Oviva's success include a strong founding team, a commitment to solving a significant problem, and the hard work and persistence of its employees. Additionally, the support of advisors and investors played a crucial role in the company's growth and scalability. 

 

When asked about the advice he would give to other entrepreneurs seeking similar growth, Kai emphasised the importance of choosing a mission they are truly passionate about and surrounding themselves with the right people. Persistence and resilience are also essential for achieving success in any venture. 

 

Oviva's journey demonstrates the power of combining healthcare and technology to create a successful, growing business that meets the needs of both patients and healthcare providers. Their success story serves as an inspiration for other entrepreneurs seeking to make a meaningful impact in their respective industries.
