Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Software is rapidly taking centre stage in the development of new medical technology and health solutions. With new frontiers, however, there are always regulatory issues: limitations that once served the sector become overly restrictive. This is something healthtech compliance company Scarlet is looking to solve.

The company is developing technology to help regulators work closely with companies to ensure continuously released software is compliant. If it gets off the ground, this could prove crucial: healthtech startups often fail for fall short of regulatory requirements. A system allowing continuous and streamlined compliance assessment could therefore solve one of the issues hobbling the pace of development in the healthtech sector.

Healthcare technology has always been a few years behind the new cutting-edge technology we see in other fields. Helping medical device software to reach the market faster, safer and more efficiently, Scarlet will enable a revolution where new software helping patients and doctors can finally get the place it deserves. To be part of this journey is exhilarating, and I can't wait to see what the future of healthcare will look like.

Meaningful work

Aug 2023

The high level of trust and autonomy is unlike anywhere else I've worked or even heard of. The founders have a deeply held commitment to hiring only the best, and then getting out of their way. This manifests itself across all parts of the company. You have the freedom to choose where and when you work, which problems you think are most important for you to solve and how to solve them.

The standard of communication at Scarlet is second to none. We have a focus on high-quality written communication at every level, and steps are regularly taken to ensure that information is not just available but actively broadcast. This is the essential counterpart to the high level of autonomy, which is only possible if everyone understands the wider business context, communicates in an honest, open and structured way, and proactively shares their work.
