By: Richard G. Hamermesh, Regina Garcia-Cuellar and Lauren Sarah Margulies
Abstract
Primedic is a Mexican start-up that aims to deliver affordable primary and preventative healthcare to those at the base of the economic pyramid. The company is about to exhaust its first round of venture capital funding and the business model has yet to gain traction. How should the business model be changed and should the venture capitalists continue to fund the company?
