Pear targeted $125M in revenue while managing 50+ products in development - an ambitious strategy that proved unsustainable. The lesson? Focus on proving success with core offerings before expanding. Build your foundation before scaling your vision.

Success in healthtech requires three key alignments:
- Reimbursement pathways secured
- Provider adoption validated
- Patient access established
Pear built their sales force before securing these fundamentals, significantly limiting their market impact. Always ensure your go-to-market strategy addresses all three stakeholders from day one.

Their high burn rate and premature team expansion left them vulnerable when market conditions changed. Remember: in healthtech, sustainable growth beats rapid expansion. Manage your cash wisely and align team growth with market readiness.
Pear's story reminds us that healthtech success isn't just about innovative technology - it's about building sustainable businesses that can effectively deliver that innovation to patients.
