Entrepreneur in Residence - Gestational Diabetes Screening Startup

Alloy Partners • Indianapolis, IN

2d • $12,500 • Hybrid

About The Position

One Health Studio, a venture studio of Alloy Partners, is seeking an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) to incubate a new company focused on improving gestational diabetes (GDM) screening. The current screening process is outdated, burdensome, and inequitable. This role involves pressure-testing a thesis around continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and a standardized glucose challenge delivered as a home-based kit, validating it with patients and payers, and building a company from the ground up. Early work has included clinical evidence review, regulatory strategy, and partnership conversations with CGM leaders and Medicaid MCOs. The EIR will be responsible for developing a founding thesis, conducting customer and clinical discovery, stress-testing the regulatory strategy, mapping the competitive landscape, and making a go/no-go decision on the concept. If the concept moves forward, the EIR will define the product scope and clinical protocol, advance the corporate partnership pipeline, recruit co-founders, build relationships with design partners, and lead the Series Seed fundraise. The goal is for the EIR to earn the opportunity to lead the venture as Co-Founder upon successful milestone achievement.

Requirements

• A founder's track record: founded a company, led a product from zero, or run a commercial launch end-to-end.
• Experience knowing what early-stage actually feels like — the ambiguity, the resourcefulness, the pace.
• Real DTC or consumer health experience, ideally paired with women's health.
• Experience building acquisition funnels, growing an owned audience, or converting and retaining customers.
• Comfort selling into or working through Medicaid, health systems, or payer channels.
• Technical fluency, direct or by proxy: either technical yourself (engineering, product, data) or worked closely enough with technical teams to hire, manage, and partner with them.
• Ability to demonstrate speed and clarity under ambiguity.
• A real point of view on health equity.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience in women's health, femtech, or maternal health (clinical, operational, commercial, or lived) is a strong plus.
• Navigated complex channel complexity firsthand and sees it as defensible ground, not a wall.

Responsibilities

• Develop a sharp founding thesis on the GDM screening and diagnosis landscape.
• Run rapid, rigorous customer and clinical discovery with patients, OB/GYNs, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, payers, and health systems.
• Stress-test the two-track regulatory strategy (wellness positioning now, De Novo SaMD clearance in parallel) with regulatory counsel.
• Map the competitive and startup landscape to confirm where a new company can win.
• Reach a go/no-go decision on the core concept, grounded in real evidence.
• Define the initial product scope and clinical protocol (CGM + glucose challenge + provider workflow).
• Own and advance the corporate partnership pipeline.
• Recruit technical and clinical co-founders with complementary depth.
• Build early relationships with design partners and clinical validation sites.
• Lead the Series Seed fundraise with One Health Studios' co-investment and support.
• Earn the opportunity to lead the venture through spin-out as Co-Founder.

Benefits

• Base compensation: $12,500 per month as a 1099 contractor during the ~6 month incubation.
• Estimated co-founder yearly salary after the company spins out is $150-200k.
• Meaningful co-founder equity in the venture if the concept spins-out into its own entity.
• Co-investment from day one.
• A venture-build team in your corner.
• A warm partner network.
• Speed to value (Studio-built companies reach Series A in roughly 12 months).
• Active recruitment and matching of technical or clinical co-founders.
