What Makes Early Stage Startups Succeed Fast?

Who They Are

Sabrina Runbeck is a fractional Chief Strategy & Operations Officer and the creator of PulsePoint Path. With 15+ years in healthcare—from cardiothoracic surgery to health-tech advisory—she helps founders transform early traction into repeatable, sustainable growth.

What They Do

Sabrina installs fast, founder-friendly strategy: crisp mission/vision, tight ICP & messaging, a clean buyer journey, and ops rhythms that prevent “busy but stalled.” She also builds fractional executive benches so startups get senior-level firepower without heavy payroll.

Why You Should Connect

For services:
If your pipeline is noisy but not converting—or growth depends on the founder—Sabrina clarifies positioning, sharpens GTM, and sets up lightweight ops so you can scale without bloating burn.

For networking:
Great partner for health-tech VCs/angels, accelerators, product leaders, revops pros, clinical advisors, and B2B healthcare agencies seeking a strategic operator who can align teams and de-risk execution.
